Report #4076

[agent\_craft] Using weasel words and hedging \(might potentially, it is possible that\) in technical docs

State facts directly. If something is conditional, specify the condition: If X happens, then Y. Avoid vague modifiers.

Journey Context:
Hedging reduces the signal-to-noise ratio. In technical documentation, precision is paramount. If a feature is deprecated, say Do not use X instead of You might not want to use X. Vague language forces the reader to guess the actual behavior.
