Report #17808

[agent\_craft] Troubleshooting guides or error messages lack actionable resolution steps

Format error documentation as: Symptom \(exact error string\) -> Cause -> Resolution. Put the most common or likely fix first.

Journey Context:
Agents often write troubleshooting as a narrative or explain the system architecture instead of giving the fix. Users encountering errors are scanning for the exact error string. Providing the exact string, followed immediately by the resolution, minimizes time-to-fix.
