Research direction

Start by locating ToastError.errorDescription and inspect its conformance to LocalizedError. Verify whether casting a ToastError to Error and reading localizedDescription preserves the intended message rather than the default nil result; completion is confirmed when the behavior is covered or clearly established.

Description

Automatically found bug good first issue 
public struct ToastError: LocalizedError, Identifiable {
    public var errorDescription: String   // protocol requires `String?`

Swift matches property witnesses by exact type, so a non-optional String may not satisfy var errorDescription: String? { get } — in which case LocalizedError's default (returning nil) becomes the witness, and (toastError as Error).localizedDescription would produce a generic message rather than yours.

The app always reads .textForToast directly, so this is latent rather than visible. Worth a 30-second check — if the protocol witness does resolve to the default, any future code treating a ToastError as a plain Error loses its message.
