[agent\_craft] Large refactor mixed with bug fix makes review and rollback hard

Make the smallest change that resolves the task. One logical concern per commit. Avoid unrelated reformatting, renaming, or feature additions.

Journey Context:
Agents drift into 'while I am here' refactor syndrome. Each extra change multiplies review surface and revert risk. Atomic commits preserve bisectability and make mistakes cheap to undo. The tradeoff is that a follow-up task may be needed; that is better than a messy mega-change.
