[agent\_craft] Assuming an edit is correct without running tests

Run the relevant tests, linter, or typecheck after every non-trivial change; treat execution results as ground truth.

Journey Context:
LLMs are confident generators, not validators. Syntax that looks correct may fail due to invisible imports, environment state, or subtle type mismatches. The SWE-bench leaderboard shows the large gap between 'patch applied' and 'tests pass'. Verification is not an afterthought; it is the definition of done. Run the narrowest test that covers the change first.
