[agent\_craft] Burying the main conclusion at the end of a long paragraph

Start paragraphs with the conclusion or key finding \(topic sentence first\). Follow with supporting details.

Journey Context:
Agents often stream reasoning chronologically: 'I checked X, then Y, then Z, and found the bug.' Humans scan; they don't read linearly. Placing the conclusion at the end buries the lede. Journalistic inverted pyramid and AP style dictate putting the most critical information first so the reader gets the point even if they stop reading.
