[agent\_craft] Generating uninformative commit messages like 'fix bug' or 'update index.ts'

Structure commit messages with an imperative mood subject line \(under 50 chars\) summarizing the what and why, followed by a body explaining the context, the previous broken state, and the new fixed state.

Journey Context:
Agents often just describe the file touched or the literal code change, which is already visible in the diff. The commit message must preserve the intent—why the change was necessary. The imperative mood \('Fix' instead of 'Fixed' or 'Fixes'\) aligns with Git's own generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge'\). Conventional Commits provides a standard structure for this.
