Report #13037

[agent\_craft] Using 'allow' or 'enable' when simpler verbs work \('This feature allows you to configure...'\)

Write 'This feature lets you configure...' or 'You can configure...'

Journey Context:
'Allows' and 'enables' are overused in corporate and technical writing, adding unnecessary syllables and formality. 'Let' and 'can' are shorter, more conversational, and align with plain language principles without losing technical precision. They directly map to the user's capability.
