Report #5639

[agent\_craft] Formatting variable names, CLI commands, or file paths as plain text instead of code formatting

Use inline code formatting \(backticks\) for any code elements, CLI commands, file names, or literal strings. Reserve fenced code blocks for multi-line code snippets.

Journey Context:
Plain text makes code elements blend into the sentence structure, causing misreading \(e.g., reading 'a variable' as a generic article \+ noun instead of the specific variable\). Inline code formatting visually separates the technical artifact from the natural language.
