Report #3660

[agent\_craft] Committed a large multi-concern patch that is hard to review or revert

Make one logical change per pass; keep the diff small enough that any failure is obvious and rollback is clean.

Journey Context:
Big patches hide interaction bugs and make bisection hard. Agents especially drift when asked to do too much in one pass because context compression and attention degrade. Atomic changes let you verify each step and recover cleanly. The tradeoff is slightly more turns, but each turn is cheaper to debug.
