[agent\_craft] Using bulleted lists for sequential procedural steps

Use numbered lists for sequential procedures; use bulleted lists only for unordered items.

Journey Context:
Bullets imply any order or parallel options. Numbers imply a required sequence. Using bullets for steps causes user error when they try to do step 3 before step 1. AP Stylebook and Google Dev-Docs explicitly differentiate based on sequence.
