Report #103856

[agent\_craft] Made several dependent edits before running any test or command

Keep edits in one turn independent; after each coherent change, run the command \(test, lint, build\) that exercises the modified path before continuing.

Journey Context:
Big-bang edits obscure which change broke the build. Agents batch for speed, but dependency chains mean edit N depends on N-1. The SWE-bench/sweagent pattern is an observe-act loop with verification after each atomic action. This feels slower but reduces debug time because failures are local and attributable.
