chore: remove stray commit msg scratch file

The kRPC proto defines error on Response and ProcedureResult as
type Error (a sub-message), not raw bytes. The schema already
declared it that way, so protobufjs was decoding the error as
a nested Error object automatically.

But our client code was treating response.error as if it were
a Uint8Array of raw bytes (matching the wrong type annotation
we had earlier), and we were trying to decode those bytes as
a second Error message. That double-decode was the source of
the "RPC error: .:" with stray substitute character and the
"index out of range" errors when the bytes happened to look
like other protobuf structures.

Fix: use the auto-decoded error object directly. response.error
is now { service, name, description, stackTrace } when set,
and we just read those fields.

This should also let the actual response values decode correctly,
since we were previously mangling the error path.
