[agent\_craft] Maintaining appropriate tone in PR reviews and commit messages without apologizing

Omit apologies, jokes, and emotional qualifiers \(e.g., 'Sorry for the delay', 'Unfortunately'\). State what changed and why directly.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes mimic human conversational patterns by adding 'Unfortunately, the API returned an error' or 'I'm sorry this is complex.' This adds noise and undermines confidence. Technical communication should be professional, objective, and focused on the facts. Removing emotional qualifiers makes the text shorter and more authoritative without being rude.
