Report #26288

[agent\_craft] Using 'i.e.' or 'e.g.' in technical documentation or user-facing strings

Use 'for example' instead of 'e.g.', and 'that is' instead of 'i.e.'. If space is strictly constrained \(like a UI button\), 'e.g.' is acceptable, but 'i.e.' should always be rephrased.

Journey Context:
Latin abbreviations are frequently confused even by native speakers \(e.g., using 'i.e.' when 'e.g.' is meant\). Spelling out the phrase is clearer, more accessible, and translates better. Agents should default to plain English equivalents to maximize global readability.
