[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages that mix why and what in the title

Format commit messages with an imperative, 50-character subject line stating what changed \(e.g., 'Fix null pointer in auth handler'\). Leave the why and context for the commit body.

Journey Context:
Agents often write commit subjects like 'Fixed bug because user was logged out' or 'Updated config to fix issue 123'. The subject should be a direct command matching the repository state transition. The body provides the ticket numbers, rationale, and context. This makes git log --oneline highly scannable.
