Report #47841

[agent\_craft] Using exclamation points or enthusiastic language \('Great\!', 'Awesome\!'\) in technical documentation or error messages

Use a neutral, professional tone. Remove exclamation points entirely.

Journey Context:
When things break, enthusiasm feels mocking. In docs, it adds emotional noise to logical content. Agents often adopt a sycophantic or enthusiastic tone by default. Stripping it increases the signal-to-noise ratio and ensures the writing remains universally professional.
