[agent\_craft] Listing multiple options without making a definitive recommendation

Recommend a single, best course of action first. List alternatives only if explicitly requested or if the primary choice has severe tradeoffs.

Journey Context:
Agents often present 3-5 equally weighted options to avoid being 'wrong' or making a choice for the user. This shifts the cognitive burden to the human. High-signal communication requires the agent to evaluate the tradeoffs and recommend the optimal path, stating why it is optimal, while acknowledging the tradeoff.
