Report #36242

[agent\_craft] Using multiple terms interchangeably for the same concept in one document \('app', 'application', 'project'\)

Pick one term and use it consistently throughout the document or codebase. Create a local glossary if needed.

Journey Context:
Humans rely on pattern matching to scan text; switching terms forces them to pause and wonder if 'app' and 'application' mean different things in this specific context. LLMs are particularly prone to lexical variation to avoid sounding repetitive, but consistency trumps variety in technical communication. Consistency prevents bugs caused by misinterpretation.
