Report #2320

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

Pick one canonical term and use it exclusively. Create a local glossary if needed to map synonyms to the chosen term.

Journey Context:
Agents have a vast vocabulary and might alternate between 'directory', 'folder', and 'path' in the same paragraph. Humans rely on consistent terminology to know that X is the same as X mentioned earlier. If you switch terms, the reader assumes a new concept is being introduced. Consistency reduces cognitive load.
