Report #35265

[agent\_craft] Using bulleted lists for sequential instructions

Use numbered lists for sequential steps. Use bulleted lists for non-sequential items, options, or overviews.

Journey Context:
Bullets imply items are interchangeable or independent. When an agent outputs steps to reproduce a bug or deploy an app as bullets, the user might execute them out of order. Numbers enforce sequence and reduce cognitive load for procedural tasks.
