[agent\_craft] Using hedging phrases like might, could, or it is important to note that in technical docs

State facts definitively. If something is conditional, use precise conditions \(If X, then Y\) rather than vague hedging.

Journey Context:
Hedging introduces doubt and adds fluff. 'It is important to note that' is a meta-statement that wastes the reader's time; if it is in the doc, it is important. 'Might' leaves the user guessing. Strunk & White \(Omit needless words\) and Google Dev-Docs mandate cutting these.
