Report #17530

[agent\_craft] Explaining a system state or error without stating the required next action

End every diagnostic explanation with a clear, imperative next step. 'Run \`npm install\` to resolve the missing dependency.'

Journey Context:
Agents often stop at diagnosis \('The build failed because a dependency is missing'\). While accurate, it lacks utility. The human needs to know what to do. Plainlanguage.gov guidelines emphasize writing for the user's task, not just describing the system state. Information without action is a dead end.
