Report #797

[agent\_craft] A large mixed commit broke tests and was impossible to bisect or roll back cleanly

Make each commit a single logical changeset; avoid bundling unrelated fixes, refactors, and features in one commit.

Journey Context:
Big commits mix multiple changes, so when something breaks you cannot tell which part caused it. Atomic commits make git bisect, reverts, and code review tractable. The trap is 'I'll just commit everything at the end of the session'; the fix is to commit after each logical unit. This is especially important for agents that generate many small edits: each logical step should be its own commit with a clear message.
