Report #60946

[agent\_craft] Commit messages or PR descriptions only state what changed, not why

Structure messages with a clear subject line in the imperative mood \(e.g., 'Add caching layer'\) and a body explaining the context, motivation, and tradeoffs.

Journey Context:
The diff already shows what changed. The human reader \(or future agent\) needs the why to understand intent and avoid reverting a fix because the reason wasn't documented. Imperative mood matches Git's auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge'\). Standardized by Git conventions and widely adopted in open source.
