[agent\_craft] Writing error messages that expose internal stack traces to non-technical users, or writing overly vague messages for developers

Match the detail level to the audience. For users, state what happened and how to fix it. For developers, provide exact state, context, and debug identifiers.

Journey Context:
A one-size-fits-all error message fails both audiences. Users need actionable next steps without being overwhelmed; devs need debuggable state. Audience-awareness is a core principle of clear communication. Exposing raw exceptions to users breaks trust and provides no actionable path.
