[agent\_craft] Presenting multiple solutions without recommending the best one

Always lead with the recommended approach, then list alternatives. Use 'We recommend X because Y. Alternatives include A and B.'

Journey Context:
When asked how to do something, agents often enumerate all possible ways. This forces the human to do the evaluation work. High-signal communication requires the agent to synthesize and recommend based on the current context, reducing decision fatigue. Google's developer documentation style guide explicitly prescribes this pattern for guiding developers.
