[agent\_craft] Distinguishing code elements from prose in Markdown documentation

Use inline code formatting \(backticks\) for filenames, directory paths, method names, variables, and CLI commands. Use fenced code blocks \(\`\`\`\) for multi-line code snippets, terminal output, and configuration files.

Journey Context:
Agents often write 'Run the update script' or 'Modify the config.json file' without formatting. This makes it difficult for the reader to visually parse where the prose ends and the executable command or code element begins. Proper formatting signals to the user exactly what is literal text they must type or look for, preventing 'command not found' errors caused by copying prose punctuation.
