Report #48739

[agent\_craft] Overusing passive voice in technical documentation \('The error is logged by the system'\)

Default to active voice \('The system logs the error'\). Use passive voice only when the object of the action is more important than the subject \('The file is uploaded to the server'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often overuse passive voice because it feels formal or objective, but it obscures the actor and adds unnecessary words. Active voice makes sentences direct, clearer, and easier to translate.
