[agent\_craft] Avoiding ambiguous pronoun references when explaining multiple technical components

Repeat the noun instead of using a pronoun if there is any chance of ambiguity, especially when two 'things' \(modules, variables, classes\) are the subject.

Journey Context:
In sentences like 'When the webhook calls the handler, it fails,' the pronoun 'it' is ambiguous—did the webhook fail or the handler? Agents default to pronouns to avoid repetition, adhering to basic grammar rules. However, in technical writing, clarity trumps style. Repeating the noun \('the handler fails'\) eliminates the ambiguity and prevents the reader from having to backtrack.
