[agent\_craft] Writing error messages that blame the user like 'You entered an invalid password'

Focus on the problem and the solution, not the user's mistake \(e.g., 'Password must be 8 characters'\).

Journey Context:
Blaming the user creates frustration. Error messages should be helpful and guide the user toward fixing the issue. State what went wrong and how to fix it. Plainlanguage.gov and UX writing guidelines recommend neutral, constructive language that points to the resolution rather than the fault.
