[agent\_craft] Code comments that restate the code instead of explaining the business logic

Write comments that explain why the code exists, the constraints it operates under, or the edge cases it handles, rather than what it does.

Journey Context:
A comment like '// increment i' above 'i\+\+' is zero-signal noise. The code is the ground truth for what happens. Comments are for the human maintaining it later. If a workaround is implemented, the comment must explain the missing context \(e.g., '// Must increment i twice to skip the legacy null-padding added in v2'\).
