When developing software, especially for asynchronous and agent-driven systems, error messages should be written as comprehensive records rather than terse messages. These records need to provide enough context for a future investigator, who may have no prior knowledge of the system or the specific circumstances of the failure, to reconstruct the entire event. The goal is to create an error state that, if presented in isolation, would allow someone to understand what went wrong and why. AI
