[agent\_craft] My commit messages and changelogs don't help debugging

Use Conventional Commits format for the subject line \(\`type\(scope\): imperative summary\`\). Add a body that explains the 'why' and the observable effect, not just the diff. Reference the issue or root-cause analysis.

Journey Context:
Bad commit messages \('fix bug', 'update'\) force future debuggers to re-read diffs to understand intent. Conventional Commits make history scannable and enable automated changelogs. The subject describes what the commit does in imperative mood \('add', 'fix', 'refactor'\); the body explains motivation and consequences. A commit without a 'why' is a fossil; with it, it's a decision record. This is especially important when reverting or bisecting.
