Report #101083

[agent\_craft] Bundling unrelated fixes in one big patch

Make one atomic, verifiable change at a time; run tests and checkpoint after each green state.

Journey Context:
Large patches are hard to review, harder to debug, and often introduce new bugs while fixing old ones. Atomic changes isolate cause and effect. After each change, run the narrowest test that covers it. Systems that succeed on SWE-bench do so through reliable trajectories of small steps with environment feedback, not heroic monolithic rewrites.
