Remarks

Intended for UI strings and IPC error payloads where we want a stable message without leaking internal details.

• ://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error values return error.message.
• Plain objects with a string message property return that message.
• Strings and numbers are surfaced as-is.
• Everything else falls back to ERROR_CATALOG.system.UNKNOWN_ERROR.
