Report #47853

[agent\_craft] Vague or overly long subjects in PRs or commits \(e.g., 'Update', 'Fix bug'\)

Write subject lines that are specific, imperative, and limited to 50 characters. Follow with a blank line and a wrapped body if needed.

Journey Context:
'Fix bug' tells the reviewer nothing. 'Fix null pointer in auth middleware' tells them exactly where to look. The subject line is the primary navigation mechanism in a git log. Using the imperative mood \('Fix' not 'Fixed' or 'Fixes'\) matches Git's own auto-generated messages.
