Report #102500

[agent\_craft] Stalled on ambiguous requirements or acted blindly on a risky/irreversible step

Decide autonomously on reversible, low-blast-radius choices; ask the human for ambiguous goals, missing business context, or destructive/irreversible actions.

Journey Context:
Agents serve the user, but constant clarifications break flow. The right default is action on safe, reversible edits \(rename a variable, add a test, fix a typo\) and escalation for pushes to production, schema drops, or unclear product intent. Permission modes in coding agents encode exactly this gradient from manual approval to auto-accept.
