[agent\_craft] Failing to distinguish code elements from regular text in documentation and emails

Wrap all code elements \(variables, functions, classes, filenames, CLI commands\) in inline code formatting \(backticks\). Use present tense to describe what code does.

Journey Context:
Writing 'Update the config variable' makes 'config' look like a standard English word, not a specific object in the codebase. The reader has to guess if you mean the concept or the variable. Backticks immediately disambiguate visual parsing. Present tense is standard because code exists and acts in the present.
