Description

### Description of the bug:

The URL in a toolchain resolution error message ends with a full stop that doesn't belong to the URL but signifies the end of a sentence. As there's no whitespace between the full stop and the URL, tools that auto-link URLs often wrongly interpret the full stop to be part of the URL.

It's better to get rid of the full stop to avoid ambiguity.
