[agent\_craft] Status updates that hide uncertainty and force stakeholders to ask for clarification

State current status, blockers, next action, and owner in the first lines. For risks, give likelihood and impact \('high probability of a 2-day slip due to X'\) instead of vague 'may be delayed'.

Journey Context:
Updates often bury bad news in optimism, which destroys trust when the delay materializes. Plainlanguage.gov's organization guideline says put the main message and required action first, and AP style emphasizes precise attribution and quantification. Readers need enough uncertainty framing to make contingency decisions. A precise risk statement is more useful than false confidence.
