Report #2771

[agent\_craft] Refactored three unrelated things in one diff and now can't tell which change broke the build

Change one thing per turn: one bug, one feature, or one mechanical rename. If a fix needs a refactor, do the refactor in a separate step.

Journey Context:
Large diffs hide regressions and make rollback impossible. Atomic changes let tests, git bisect, and reviewers map one problem to one patch. The most common agent error is 'while I'm here' cleanup that renames variables, moves imports, and upgrades a dependency in the same commit as the actual fix. Resist it.
