Report #5732

[agent\_craft] Presenting multiple ways to solve a problem without recommending a specific path

Provide the recommended approach first, then list alternatives with brief tradeoffs. Use 'Do X. Alternatively, if Y, do Z.'

Journey Context:
When an agent queries for solutions, it often returns an exhaustive list, shifting the cognitive burden of evaluation to the human. High-signal communication reduces decision fatigue. State the best practice default clearly, and only offer alternatives if the default doesn't fit specific constraints.
