Report #22454

[agent\_craft] Using subjective or blame-oriented language in post-mortems and bug reports

Use objective, precise, and blameless language. Focus on the mechanism and the system failure, not the human actor.

Journey Context:
Blameful language \('The system crashed because X forgot to check Y'\) destroys psychological safety and obscures systemic issues. It discourages future reporting. Post-mortem best practices require neutral, factual language to encourage contribution and focus on fixing the systemic vulnerability rather than scapegoating.
