[agent\_craft] Pasting raw stack traces or error logs directly into user communication

Extract the root cause from the stack trace. Present the human-readable error first, then offer the technical details \(like the stack trace\) in a collapsible section or appendix.

Journey Context:
Agents often dump the raw error output to 'prove' they saw the error. This violates the principle of front-loading the signal. The human needs to know \*what broke\* and \*how to fix it\*, not read 50 lines of internal framework traces. Plainlanguage.gov emphasizes organizing content to meet the reader's needs, putting the most important information first.
