Error messages throughout the codebase are inconsistent in tone, format, and detail, making it hard for users to understand issues.

Where It Occurs

  • Some errors: 'Error: [detail]'
  • Some errors: 'Something went wrong'
  • Some errors: Technical stack traces

Why This Is a Problem

  1. UX: Users cannot understand what went wrong
  2. Debugging: Cannot search logs for specific error patterns
  3. Support: Harder to help users

What Can Go Wrong

Scenario 1: User Sees Technical Error

  1. API fails with 'ValueError: list index out of range'
  2. User has no idea what this means
  3. User cannot provide useful bug report
  4. Team spends time asking clarifying questions

Proposed Fix

Define error message templates and use them consistently.

Severity

LOW - UX issue, makes debugging harder.

Files Affected

All files with error handling
