Report #4810

[agent\_craft] Introduced new helper patterns that duplicated existing code and broke project consistency

Before writing, search the repo for existing conventions—naming, error handling, dependency injection, test style—and match them; the codebase is the style guide.

Journey Context:
Agents import idioms from training data rather than the current project. The result is 'two ways to do everything'. Reading a few representative files and recent tests reveals the project's actual patterns. The wrong move is assuming 'I know the right way in this language'.

environment: existing Python/FastAPI codebases with established conventions · tags: conventions consistency pattern-matching code-style duplication · source: swarm · provenance: PEP 8 -- Style Guide for Python Code https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/
