Report #98284

[agent\_craft] My agent made ten unrelated changes in one go and the diff was impossible to review or revert.

Keep each change atomic: one logical fix per step, with a focused diff and a clear commit message. Split cross-module work into a sequence of small, reviewable steps rather than one mega-patch.

Journey Context:
Large diffs hide root causes, make rollback expensive, and break bisection. Atomic commits let humans and other agents understand, trust, and cherry-pick changes. The common mistake is batching everything because 'it is all related'—usually it is not. Pro Git's contributing guidelines define atomic commits as the standard for any project that expects review.
