Description

Current error messages in add project or provision quickstarter flow either contains technical
A. details that should not be revealed
B. or are too complex to understand users

E.g if webhook proxy is not up and running something like this error message should be returned: "endpoint to trigger jenkins pipeline is not reachable"

Research direction

Start by tracing the add-project and quickstarter provisioning flows in this deprecated provisioning app; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Review the errors returned when the webhook proxy is unavailable, then verify that user-facing messages omit technical details and clearly explain that the Jenkins pipeline endpoint is unreachable.
