Report #59438

[agent\_craft] Writing error messages that state the problem but omit the solution

Provide the constraint and the corrective action. Write 'Enter a number between 1 and 10' instead of 'Invalid input.'

Journey Context:
Error messages are a critical user touchpoint. Simply stating 'Error' or 'Invalid' tells the user what broke, but leaves them helpless. Providing the fix reduces support burden and user frustration.
