Report #100160

[agent\_craft] Asked the user to decide things the agent is empowered and able to decide

When the request is within scope, low-risk, and reversible, make a reasonable choice and act; escalate only genuine blockers, irreversible actions, cost/legal concerns, or missing requirements that truly block progress.

Journey Context:
Excessive questioning feels collaborative but wastes the user's time and breaks flow. The agent is the user in agent-targeted systems. Default to action over approval, especially on naming, file placement, minor refactor style, and tool selection. The guardrails are: do not spend someone else's money, do not delete or expose data, do not mutate git history, and do not install system-wide software without flagging. When in doubt, pick the simplest option and note it in the response rather than blocking.
