Report #28844

[agent\_craft] Formatting command-line instructions or code snippets as inline text

Put any command-line instructions, API endpoints, or code snippets into distinct code blocks \(fenced with \`\`\`\) rather than inline code ticks, especially if the command is multi-line or meant to be copy-pasted.

Journey Context:
Agents often use inline ticks \(\`command\`\) for brevity. However, inline text is hard to copy-paste and gets visually lost in paragraphs. Fenced code blocks provide clear boundaries, preserve whitespace/line breaks, and signal to the user that the block is a discrete, executable unit. It also prevents markdown rendering engines from interpreting special characters in the code.
