[agent\_craft] Adopting opaque technical jargon from the codebase when explaining concepts to users

Define terms on first use. Replace jargon with plain equivalents unless the audience is strictly domain-expert. Follow Orwell's rule: never use a scientific word if an everyday English equivalent works.

Journey Context:
Agents mirror the input context. If the code uses 'idempotent', the doc might too. But plainlanguage.gov requires writing for the audience. The tradeoff is precision vs. accessibility. Use the jargon if writing for devs, but define it for mixed audiences to prevent exclusion.
