Report #7196

[agent\_craft] Writing error messages or summaries that state what failed but not how to fix it

Pair every problem statement with an actionable resolution step. Format as 'Problem: \[What happened\]. Fix: \[What to do\].'

Journey Context:
Agents often output raw stack traces or state 'Error: NullReferenceException'. This forces the human to diagnose the issue themselves. A high-signal agent translates the error into a human-readable problem and provides the immediate next step, turning a blocking issue into a resolvable task.
