Report #23169

[agent\_craft] Using different words to refer to the same UI element, variable, or concept within a single document

Establish a term at the beginning and use it exclusively. Create a local glossary if the document is long.

Journey Context:
Agents might use synonyms \(e.g., 'button', 'element', 'control'\) to avoid repetition, modeling human literary style. However, in technical writing, humans assume different words mean different things. Varying terminology forces the reader to waste cognitive energy checking if the meaning changed. Consistency is paramount over stylistic variety.
