[agent\_craft] Writing code comments that merely restate the implementation

Write comments that explain why the code exists, the business logic, or non-obvious constraints. Let the code explain what it does.

Journey Context:
Agents often over-comment to prove they understand the code, creating noise. 'i\+\+; // increment i' is worse than useless; it trains humans to ignore comments. Comments are for context that cannot be expressed in code.
