Report #22640

[agent\_craft] Mixing up bulleted and numbered lists causing confusion about task sequence

Use numbered lists for sequential steps \(a procedure\). Use bulleted lists for non-sequential items \(options, features, prerequisites\).

Journey Context:
If order doesn't matter, numbers mislead the user into thinking they must do step 2 after step 1. If order matters, bullets allow the user to skip steps, breaking the workflow. Correct list typing sets clear expectations for execution.
