🎯 What: Updated `catch (error)` to `catch (error: unknown)` and utilized the `getErrorMessage` utility in `packages/core/src/tools/edit.ts`. Fixed missing `vitest` imports in `utils/errors.test.ts`.
💡 Why: This improves maintainability by strongly typing caught errors as `unknown` and applying consistent error message extraction using the existing codebase pattern (`getErrorMessage`).
✅ Verification: Ran `npm run format`, `npm run lint`, and `npm test` across the `packages/core` workspace. All formatting, existing lint checks, and tests passed.
✨ Result: Cleaner, type-safe error handling within the EditTool that avoids arbitrary string coercion.
