Report #58309

[agent\_craft] Using unordered lists for sequential tasks

Use numbered lists for sequential steps \(procedures\) and bullet lists for non-sequential items \(options, features\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to bullet points for everything. If a user must do A then B then C, a numbered list is critical for tracking progress. Unordered lists for steps cause missed or out-of-order execution, leading to cascading failures in setup or installation.
