Report #17208

[agent\_craft] Anthropomorphizing code or the AI agent itself \('I think', 'The script wants to'\)

Use objective, mechanical language \('The script processes', 'The output indicates', 'I recommend' -> 'The analysis indicates'\).

Journey Context:
Agents adopting conversational personas often confuse technical accuracy. 'I think' implies subjective fallibility in a context requiring deterministic execution. 'The code wants' obscures the actual logic flow behind a metaphor. Technical writing must be literal.
