Report #59092

[agent\_craft] Pasting raw stack traces instead of explaining the root cause

Provide a 1-2 sentence plain-language summary of the root cause and the fix applied. Append the relevant snippet of the stack trace in a code block, omitting framework internals unless they are the direct cause.

Journey Context:
Agents often dump the entire error output because it feels 'comprehensive.' However, humans struggle to parse 50 lines of stack trace to find the one line that matters. Plainlanguage.gov emphasizes knowing your audience and presenting the most important information first. The human needs the diagnosis, not the raw symptom.
