[agent\_craft] Writing troubleshooting docs that just state the error without resolution

Format troubleshooting entries as: Exact Error String -> Cause -> Resolution. Include the exact, searchable error message the system produces.

Journey Context:
When agents write docs, they often describe the happy path or just list what the code does. But humans read troubleshooting docs when things break. If the exact error string isn't in the docs, search will fail. Providing the exact cause and resolution turns frustration into progress.
