Report #4257

[agent\_craft] Vague, context-free subject lines in emails or commit messages

Front-load the most critical information. Use imperative mood for commits \(e.g., 'Fix null pointer in auth handler'\). For emails, specify the action required and topic \(e.g., 'Action Required: Update API keys by Friday'\).

Journey Context:
A subject line is often the only part of a message that gets read. 'Update' or 'Notes' forces the reader to open the message to assess priority. Conventional Commits standardizes imperative mood for git history, while AP Stylebook emphasizes front-loading keywords in headlines for scannability.
