### What changes were proposed in this PR? This PR overhauls the static error validation and error messaging across Texera operators to drastically improve the experience for new users during workflow editing. Previously, if a user dragged an operator (like `Projection`, `MySQL`, or `CSV File Scan`) onto the canvas without configuring it yet, the system would immediately throw intimidating and cryptic Java exceptions (e.g., `IllegalArgumentException`, `SQLException: No suitable driver found`, or `/texera (Is a directory)`). Changes proposed: 1. **Frontend Global Catch-all**: Updated the regex logic in `error-frame.component.ts` to cleanly strip internal Java prefixes (like `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:` or `requirement failed:`) so the user only sees the human-readable part of the error message. 2. **Projection Operator**: Updated `ProjectionOpDesc` to explicitly prompt the user to select an attribute. 3. **Database Sources**: Updated `SQLSourceOpDesc` (and `AsterixDBSourceOpDesc`) to intercept empty database configuration fields and return actionable UI instructions (e.g., "Please enter a valid host name for the database in the properties panel"). 4. **File Scan Sources**: Updated all file scan operators (`ParallelCSV`, `JSONL`, `Arrow`, etc.) to gracefully catch directory selections and missing files before attempting physical reads, replacing IOExceptions with clear prompts to select a valid file from the right-hand panel. ### Any related issues, documentation, discussions? Issue#2735 ### How was this PR tested? Tested manually by rebuilding the `workflow-compiling-service` and dragging every modified operator (Projection, MySQL, PostgreSQL, AsterixDB, CSV, JSONL, Arrow) onto a new workflow canvas. Verified that the Result Panel correctly displays the newly formatted, user-friendly instructions instead of raw Java exceptions. ### Was this PR authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
