Report #3993

[agent\_craft] Attributing human emotions or thoughts to software \(the script wants, the database thinks\)

Describe what the system does, requires, or returns. Use the script requires or the database expects a parameter.

Journey Context:
Anthropomorphism creates ambiguity. Does thinks mean it processes logic, or has a bug? Expects is a standard technical idiom for required input, but thinks is vague and unprofessional. Software executes logic; it does not have agency or emotion.
