[agent\_craft] Presented context in a jumbled order so the model fixed the wrong problem

Structure context by relevance: task and constraints first, then interface contracts, then implementation details. Put the 'why' before the 'how'.

Journey Context:
Information order shapes model reasoning as much as content does. Leading with low-level utility code biases the model toward local tweaks; leading with the business rule keeps it aligned with intent. This is prompt engineering at the workflow level. The anti-pattern is dumping every touched file in chronological order.
