Description
Improve messaging for when an asset is uploaded to a library component on the Details tab. Determine common causes of errors, and create messaging for cases. ex: file size limit is 50mb. In case of error: "Your file could not be uploaded. Your file exceeds the maximum allowed file size of 50mb."

Research direction
Start at the library component asset-upload flow on the Details tab and inspect its existing error handling. Identify the common upload failure cases, including the 50 MB limit, and define specific user-facing messages for them; done means those cases no longer show only the generic error.
