Report #15658

[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous temporal references in docs \(e.g., currently, soon, recently\)

Use exact dates, version numbers, or specific conditions instead of relative terms. Replace 'currently' with 'As of version X' or delete it entirely.

Journey Context:
'Currently' or 'soon' becomes false the moment the doc is read later. Agents generating docs might snapshot the current state, but the text persists. Plainlanguage.gov and tech writing standards forbid relative time because it decays instantly and misleads future readers. If a feature is beta, say 'In beta as of 2024-10', not 'currently in beta'.
