[agent\_craft] Agent hallucinates fixes based on massive framework stack traces instead of the user's code

Sanitize tool errors before injecting them into the context. Strip framework stack traces to only show the user-code frames, or summarize the error type and message without the full trace.

Journey Context:
When an agent runs a test and it fails, the stack trace might be 500 lines of Django/React internals. The LLM will start trying to fix the framework, wasting tokens and time. The agent only needs to know 'AssertionError: expected 200, got 404 at line 42 of my\_view.py'. Sanitizing errors keeps the context focused on the user's domain and prevents attention dilution.
