Merged
Conversation

Explicit request in chat: too much text, too much explaining.
Written as a concrete rule so it's actionable — lead with the answer, reasoning only where it changes a decision, no recapping the diff, no summing-up line. Applies to chat, commits and PR bodies; reference docs can be longer where the length earns it.
