Make operational feedback actionable, not merely technically correct

Summary#

Multiple PRs improved systems not by changing core behavior first, but by fixing the signals around it: typoed expressions gained suggestions, wrong retry semantics were corrected, and misleading logs or error types were removed. The reusable lesson is that diagnostics should guide the next safe action and reflect protocol semantics, rather than dumping raw context or emitting stale messages.

Problem#

Users and operators received outputs that were formally valid but operationally harmful, such as unhelpful column lists, incorrect domain-specific errors, non-retryable HTTP codes for transient conditions, or logs that described expected behavior as suspicious.

Solution#

Tune feedback around user intent and downstream consumers: suggest the closest valid symbol when resolution fails, return error/status codes that match client retry behavior, use the precise domain error type, and delete obsolete logs once the underlying condition becomes normal.

Failure Modes#

Error messages enumerate internal state instead of narrowing the likely typo or fix.
HTTP or API error codes cause clients to stop retrying a transient failure.
Copy-pasted validation returns the wrong domain error, sending debugging effort in the wrong direction.
Legacy warning logs survive a design change and train operators to ignore useful alerts.
