Report #284

[agent\_craft] A single commit mixes unrelated fixes, making review, bisect, and rollback hard

Make each commit one logical changeset. Stage hunks with git add --patch or keep Edit calls focused if needed. Write a commit message that explains why, not just what. Do not bundle refactor \+ feature \+ bugfix in one commit.

Journey Context:
Git history is a debugging and review tool, not just a save button. The Pro Git book explicitly recommends making each commit a logically separate changeset. Mixed commits break git bisect and make reverts dangerous. Agents often batch many small edits because they are cheap, but the cost shows up when another agent tries to understand, cherry-pick, or revert later. Three independent fixes deserve three commits.
