The codebase already trends toward concise exception messages, but message style and failure taxonomy are not fully uniform. Some messages are phrased as internal diagnostics, others as user-facing validation errors, and some still use inconsistent punctuation or wording. This showed up across multiple classes during review.

Why this matters

For a professional PKI foundation, failures should be consistent, reviewable, and easy to map into audit records, logs, and external service responses.

Acceptance criteria

  • Standardize message style across the PKI module.
  • Separate internal diagnostics from externally meaningful error messages where appropriate.
  • Keep messages safe for logs in regulated environments.
  • Update JavaDoc for thrown exceptions where the contract is public/protected.
