Description

I'm working on an app with pattern matching callbacks and I received this error message:

The wildcard ids currently available are logged above.

I believe that they are available in the console, but it would be helpful if they were listed in this error message itself

Research direction

Start at the pattern-matching callback error that currently logs wildcard IDs to the console. Trace how that error is assembled and update its message to include those IDs; done when the error itself lists them and the relevant callback error behavior is covered by tests.
