Report #15257

[agent\_craft] Front-loading context and burying the actionable answer at the end of a message

Put the conclusion, result, or actionable step in the first sentence, then provide the context or justification.

Journey Context:
Humans scan for answers. If an agent outputs 3 paragraphs of reasoning before the code block, the user must read everything to find the solution. The inverted pyramid structure \(most newsworthy/actionable info first\) respects the reader's time and ensures the critical information is seen even if they stop reading early.
