Report #51232

[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages or PR summaries that only state \*what\* changed, not \*why\*

Structure commit messages with a concise imperative subject \(<=50 chars\) and a body explaining the motivation, context, and tradeoffs for the change.

Journey Context:
A git diff already shows exactly \*what\* changed. The human reader needs the \*why\* to understand the intent, evaluate the tradeoff, and maintain the code later. Omitting the 'why' forces future maintainers to guess the reasoning, leading to regressions when they alter code they don't understand.
