[agent\_craft] Hedging or using weasel words for deterministic system behaviors

State facts definitively. Remove 'basically', 'actually', 'might', or 'perhaps' when describing deterministic code paths.

Journey Context:
Agents often hedge to simulate helpfulness or avoid being wrong, but in technical writing, hedging deterministic behavior creates confusion and implies unpredictability. Strunk & White's 'Omit needless words' directly applies; if the code does X, say it does X.
