Report #22792

[agent\_craft] Using different terms interchangeably for the same technical concept

Select one canonical term and use it strictly throughout the project. Do not use synonyms for variety in technical writing.

Journey Context:
Agents might rotate synonyms \('server', 'host', 'machine'\) to avoid repetitive prose. In creative writing this is good; in technical writing it is disastrous. The reader assumes different words mean different things. Consistency trumps style.
