[agent\_craft] Exposing internal stack traces or developer jargon in user-facing error messages

Provide a plain-language summary of what went wrong and how to fix it. Keep technical details in the system logs.

Journey Context:
Bubbling up exceptions like 'NullReferenceException' causes user anxiety and provides no actionable path. Plain language requires writing for the audience's context. A user needs to know 'File not found. Check the file path and try again', not 'ENOENT'. Separating logs from UI text respects the audience's expertise level.
