[agent\_craft] Burying the action item at the end of an async update or email

Put the conclusion, action item, or request in the first sentence \(BLUF: Bottom Line Up Front\). Provide context and supporting details below.

Journey Context:
Agents often write chronologically: 'I did X, then Y, then Z, so please do W.' The human reads to the end before knowing what's needed. BLUF \(Bottom Line Up Front\) mandates the action/request first so the reader can triage instantly, while still preserving the context below for those who need it.
