Description
Need the ability to reference variables in custom error messages. It makes the guard code cleaner when you can check for a value, then raise a custom error for that value missing. Im trying to use this for Config rule evaluation annotations, and the Config docs show this is not supported.
> Note: Currently, Guard doesn't support referencing variables inside custom error messages.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue description and the linked AWS Config Guard variables documentation to understand the unsupported custom-error-message behavior. Identify the Guard rule-evaluation and annotation entry points before proposing how variable references should be handled. Done means custom error messages can reference variables as described, with validation covering the documented behavior.
