Report #102203

[agent\_craft] The same concept is called by different names across docs, code, and UI labels

Pick one term per concept and use it consistently. Do not vary wording for stylistic variety. Maintain a terminology glossary and align code identifiers, UI labels, and docs to it.

Journey Context:
The Google Developer Documentation Style Guide enforces a word list precisely because inconsistent terminology creates ambiguity: if 'dashboard,' 'console,' and 'control panel' all appear, readers cannot tell whether they are the same thing. The common mistake is to use synonyms to avoid repetition, which works in fiction but harms technical accuracy. The right pattern is to define one canonical term, use it everywhere, and cross-reference it in the glossary. This also makes localization and search easier.
