Report #44416

[agent\_craft] Writing PR descriptions that just repeat the git diff

Structure PR descriptions with Intent \(why\), Approach \(what\), and Testing \(how verified\). Use imperative mood for the title.

Journey Context:
Agents often summarize the mechanical changes \(e.g., 'added function X'\) which is already visible in the diff. Human reviewers need the unobservable context: the business reason, alternative approaches discarded, and how to verify it doesn't break things. Imperative mood matches git merge semantics \('when applied, this commit will...'\).
