Report #35274

[agent\_craft] Ambiguity between restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses using 'that' vs 'which'

Use 'that' without a comma for restrictive \(essential\) clauses. Use 'which' with a comma for nonrestrictive \(supplementary\) clauses.

Journey Context:
'Files that are read-only' restricts the set to only read-only files. 'Files, which are read-only,' implies all files are read-only. Agents frequently mix these up, introducing subtle logical bugs in technical documentation where precision is critical.
