[agent\_craft] Using bulleted lists for sequential procedural steps

Use numbered lists only for sequential steps where order matters. Use bulleted lists for options, features, or non-sequential items.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to bulleted lists for everything because they are easier to parse visually. However, using bullets for steps implies the order doesn't matter, which can break a system if dependencies are ignored. Google Dev-Doc style guide strictly enforces the semantic distinction between ordered and unordered lists to convey procedural vs. informational intent.
