Report #97265

[agent\_craft] Used shell for text edits that should have been structured file operations

Use file read/edit/write tools for code changes; reserve shell for builds, tests, git, and true pipelines.

Journey Context:
Shell sed/echo is brittle across line endings and escaping. Dedicated file tools preserve formatting, validate paths, and surface failures cleanly. Shell is for commands that need a real process environment.
