Report #14508

[agent\_craft] Documenting errors vaguely or only stating that an error occurs \('An error is thrown if the input is invalid'\)

Provide the exact error message string, the root cause, and the actionable steps to resolve it.

Journey Context:
Users read documentation most carefully when things break. Stating 'an error occurs' gives zero signal for debugging. Providing the exact string allows the user to search for it, and actionable steps reduce support load.
