Greptile Summary
Updated error messages in the actHandler.ts when failed acts cannot find elements to act on. The changes replace vague "No observe results found" messages with clearer "Element not found" and "No elements found to act on" messages. Additionally, when the main act function fails to find elements, it now logs a helpful message with a link to the act best practices documentation.
Confidence score: 5/5
- This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
- The changes are purely cosmetic improvements to error messages and logging, making them more user-friendly without altering any core logic or functionality. The changeset is properly formatted and follows conventions.
