[agent\_craft] Verifying changes only by re-reading files instead of running them

After every non-trivial edit, run the relevant test, build, or lint command. Static inspection is not proof; execution is.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to call Read again to 'confirm' an edit landed, but that only checks file contents, not behavior. A missing import, a subtle syntax error, or a broken type check will slip past visual inspection. The fastest feedback loop is local: edit, run the narrowest test that exercises the change, then iterate. This mirrors the CI principle that every commit should be self-testing; the agent is the developer, so it should run the commit build before declaring success.
