Improve error messages in core

**Description**
Currently hooks lacks proper logging support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable logging with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

Start by locating the core hooks and their current error or logging entry points; the payload does not name specific files or tests. Clarify whether the requested scope is improved error messages, configurable hook logging, or both, then verify that logging has sensible defaults and can be configured without breaking existing hook behavior.
