Report #76774

[agent\_craft] Stating exceptions or edge cases before the primary rule \('Unless X, do Y'\)

State the primary rule or most common case first, then introduce the exceptions \('Do Y, unless X'\).

Journey Context:
Leading with exceptions forces the reader to hold a negative condition in working memory before understanding the base action. Plainlanguage.gov guidelines on organization emphasize putting the main point first so readers immediately get the core information, only processing the edge cases once the rule is understood.
