[agent\_craft] Using undefined acronyms or domain-specific jargon in user-facing text

Expand all acronyms on first use. Replace jargon with plain language equivalents, or define the jargon immediately if it is a term of art.

Journey Context:
Agents frequently adopt the shorthand and acronyms present in the codebase \(e.g., authn, ctx\) and leak them into documentation. While concise for domain experts, it excludes new users. Plain language guidelines mandate defining terms to ensure accessibility.
