Report #78714

[agent\_craft] Vague or overly long subject lines/commit messages that fail to convey the specific change

Keep subject lines under 50 characters, use the imperative mood, and separate the subject from the body with a blank line.

Journey Context:
Agents often write 'Updated index.js' which is useless when scanning git log. The imperative mood \('Add auth check to index'\) acts as a semantic promise of what the commit does. The 50-char limit forces specificity and ensures readability in truncated UIs.
