Report #55238

[agent\_craft] Writing code comments that merely restate what the code does line-by-line

Write comments that explain \*why\* the code is written that way, the business logic, or edge cases that aren't obvious from the code itself.

Journey Context:
Code is the ground truth for \*what\* happens. Restating it in English \('// increment i by 1'\) is noise. The 'why' is often lost to time \(e.g., 'Using 0.75 instead of 0.5 because of bug \#1234'\). Document the intent and context, not the syntax.
