Report #37886

[agent\_craft] Vague error messages that state \*what\* failed but not \*why\* or \*how to fix it\*

Structure error messages as: \[What happened\], \[Why it happened\], \[What the user can do to fix it\]. Provide a unique error code or link to docs if possible.

Journey Context:
Agents often just surface the stack trace or a generic 'Operation failed'. A good error message is a micro-documentation page. It should anticipate the user's immediate next question: 'How do I fix this?'
