Report #12141

[agent\_craft] Providing code blocks without language specification or context

Always specify the language for syntax highlighting. Include a brief intro stating what the code does, and if it's a partial snippet, comment the surrounding context or state the file path.

Journey Context:
Agents often drop raw code blocks because they are focused on the logic. A human reader needs to know where this code goes and how to run it. A snippet without a declared language renders as unhighlighted text, increasing cognitive load. Google Dev-Doc style requires introductory text for code blocks and explicit language declaration for proper rendering.
