Chrome-extension bridge errors lose their detailed, tailored troubleshooting messages

What

The function that produced specific error messages for failed Chrome-extension bridge tool calls (distinguishing timeouts, disconnects, and generic errors, each with its own troubleshooting advice) has been replaced with a generic timeout wrapper that just races the call against a timeout and returns a plain fallback value.

Why

Users hitting a Chrome-extension bridge failure will now see a generic outcome instead of a tailored explanation of what went wrong and how to fix it.
