Improve error messages for failed agent operations #3

[omolobamoyinoluwa-max]

The solution improves error handling across all swap-related operations in Stellar AgentKit by replacing generic errors with detailed, context-rich messages.

Key Improvements:
LP Operations: Enhanced deposit/withdrawal errors with network, contract, amounts, and address context
Route Optimizer: Added strategy, path, and network information to routing errors
Swap Execution: Comprehensive transaction context including assets, amounts, hop count
Bridge Operations: Already had enhanced context (maintained)
Features:
✅ Network context (testnet/mainnet)
✅ Asset paths and amounts
✅ Contract addresses and parameters
✅ Descriptive error names
✅ Original error preservation
✅ No breaking API changes
Result:
Developers now receive detailed error messages that include all necessary context to debug swap failures quickly, meeting all acceptance criteria for issue #3.

Closes #3

Summary by cubic

Improved error handling across swaps, LP, bridging, and the route optimizer with clear, actionable messages that include network, asset, amount, route, and contract context. No API changes; failures are now faster to diagnose. Closes #3.

• Bug Fixes
  • LP operations: deposit/withdraw now throw DepositError/WithdrawalError with network, contract, caller/recipient, and desired/min amounts.
  • Route optimizer: quoting/planning errors include network, strategy, path, hop count; Horizon fetch errors show HTTP status and asset path; invalid strategies fail with clear messages.
  • Swap execution: errors include send/dest assets, amounts, selected route/pools, and hop count; original error details preserved.
  • Bridge/tools: added clear env validation and mainnet guards; tool wrappers surface concise, action-specific errors.

^{Written for commit 27a58b8. Summary will update on new commits.}
