Report #17401

[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns in sequential steps \(e.g., 'Update the config and restart the server. This fixes the issue.'\)

Repeat the noun or restructure the sentence to eliminate ambiguity \(e.g., 'Restarting the server applies the config updates and fixes the issue.'\).

Journey Context:
Agents try to avoid repetition, leading to dangling modifiers or ambiguous pronouns. In technical writing, ambiguity causes bugs because users guess the referent. Strunk & White explicitly warns against loose, ambiguous pronouns.
