Here's an example of a bug that I filed about non-actionable error messages:
https://github.com/karmab/kcli/issues/456 https://github.com/karmab/kcli/issues/456
The first error message was "No usable public key found, which is required for the deployment" which doesn't tell me what I have to do to correct the problem. Nothing about even where it's looking for keys, what is supposed to create the key or how I am supposed to create the key.
There are other examples and discussion of what they should say in the link.
Edit: Here's another one that I filed: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/20775 https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/20775

It’s almost always the fault of system B but we present the mismatch error neutrally. Experienced developers just know to fix B but we shouldn’t rely on that.
