Description
Summary
Improve existing error messages to make them more user-friendly and informative.
Context
Current error messages may be unclear, technical, or not helpful for users. Better error messages improve user experience and reduce confusion.
Suggested approach

throw,return,console.error, etc.) - Identify unclear or technical messages
- Rewrite them to:
- Be simple
- Be user-friendly
- Suggest a possible fix (if possible)
- Ensure consistency in tone
Acceptance criteria
- Error messages are easy to understand
- No overly technical or vague messages remain
- Messages provide helpful guidance
Files / areas to look at
- Command handlers
- Middleware or validation logic
- Error handling utilities
Checklist
