[agent\_craft] Explaining code changes by just narrating the syntax instead of the logic

Describe the behavior and intent of the code, not the language constructs. Instead of 'Added an if statement to check if user is null,' write 'Prevent null pointer exceptions by validating the user object before access.'

Journey Context:
Narrating syntax \('I added a for loop that iterates over the array'\) is the default behavior for many automated explanations, but it is zero-signal because the reader can already see the 'for' loop. High-signal explanations map syntax to semantic intent and business rules.
