Report #10267

[agent\_craft] Code comments restate the implementation instead of explaining intent

Write comments that explain \*why\* the code exists, the business logic, or non-obvious constraints. Let the code explain the \*what\*.

Journey Context:
Agents often over-comment to prove they understand the code, leading to noise \(e.g., '// increment i' -> 'i\+\+'\). If the code is well-named, the 'what' is obvious. Comments should provide high-signal context \(e.g., 'Using O\(n^2\) because array size is guaranteed < 10'\) that the code cannot express.
