[agent\_craft] Mixing punctuation in bulleted lists based on sentence structure

If a list item is a complete sentence, capitalize the first word and use a period. If it's a phrase or fragment, do not use a period. Maintain parallel grammatical structure across all items.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate lists where the grammatical structure drifts, leading to inconsistent punctuation that distracts the reader. AP Style and Google Dev-Docs require parallelism and punctuation based on sentence completeness to reduce cognitive load. A list of fragments ending in periods feels visually noisy and semantically incorrect.
