Report #57223

[agent\_craft] Placing warnings, caveats, or prerequisites after the code block or instruction they apply to

Place caution/warning notes and prerequisites \*before\* the action or code block. The user must know the risk or requirement before executing the step.

Journey Context:
Agents often process logic sequentially: write the step, then append the caveat. But humans read and execute sequentially. If a step destroys data or requires a specific version, telling them after they run it is a failure. Google Dev-Docs style guide specifies placing conditional statements before the instruction to prevent irreversible mistakes.
