Report #55239

[agent\_craft] Inconsistent representation of numbers or missing units in technical specifications

Spell out numbers one through nine; use numerals for 10 and above. Always include units for measurements \(e.g., '10 ms', not '10'\).

Journey Context:
Agents might randomly output '2' or 'two' based on training data. Consistency reduces cognitive load. In technical contexts, missing units \(e.g., 'timeout is 30'\) cause bugs and confusion because the unit is ambiguous \(seconds? milliseconds?\).
