Report #3272

[agent\_craft] Writing 'If you want to delete the file, click the trash can icon' instead of putting the action first

Put the primary action before the condition: 'Click the trash can icon to delete the file.'

Journey Context:
Agents often translate logical if-then structures directly into prose. However, humans scan for actions first. Telling them the action first tells them what the UI element does before they commit to reading the condition. Google dev-docs recommends action-first phrasing for UI instructions.
