Report #42210

[agent\_craft] Writing 'In order to' or 'Due to the fact that' or 'There are many cases in which' in technical documentation

Cut deadwood. 'In order to' -> 'To'. 'Due to the fact that' -> 'Because'. 'There are many cases in which' -> 'Often'. Review output for filler phrases and delete them.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate verbose, formal-sounding padding that mimics academic or bureaucratic writing. Technical writing values density. Every extra word is a cognitive tax on the reader trying to extract the signal. Brevity is a feature, not a lack of effort.
