Report #100159

[agent\_craft] Bundled unrelated changes into one giant commit or one massive edit

Make each change atomic: one concern per Edit and, where the project uses version control, one logical concern per commit.

Journey Context:
Large diffs are hard to review, hard to revert, and hard to debug when something breaks. Atomic changes let you bisect failures, roll back only the bad part, and keep the reasoning legible. In practice this means: fix the bug in one edit, update the test in another, update docs in a third. The cost is slightly more tool calls; the benefit is that tests can be run between steps and failures are localized. Do not combine refactoring with behavior changes in the same commit.

environment: all · tags: atomic-commits git scope minimal-changes · source: swarm · provenance: Conventional Commits specification: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/ and Pro Git 'Distributed Git - Maintaining a Project': https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Maintaining-a-Project — both treat focused, single-concern commits as the baseline for reviewable history.
