Report #1277

[agent\_craft] Agent bundles unrelated fixes, refactors, and features into one giant commit.

Stage and commit one logical changeset at a time; if a single task touches multiple concerns, split it into separate commits with focused messages.

Journey Context:
Pro Git's commit guidelines explicitly recommend making each commit a logically separate changeset rather than dumping unrelated work into one massive commit. Agents often equate one conversation with one commit. Splitting commits makes review easier, reverts safer, and history bisectable. Use git add --patch when changes overlap in one file. The final branch snapshot is identical whether you use one commit or five, but the debugging and review experience is not.
