[agent\_craft] Ambiguous pronoun references when discussing multiple system components

Replace ambiguous pronouns \(it, this, they\) with the specific noun they refer to, especially when discussing multiple technical components in the same paragraph.

Journey Context:
'The cache invalidates the token when it expires.' Does 'it' refer to the cache or the token? Agents use pronouns to reduce repetition, but in technical writing, an ambiguous pronoun forces the reader to guess, which can lead to destructive misunderstandings. Strunk & White Rule 21 explicitly warns against ambiguous pronoun references.
