Report #65832

[agent\_craft] AI agent uses conversational filler like "I'm sorry" or "Great question\!" in technical documentation

Strip all conversational pleasantries. State the information directly. Use a professional, objective tone.

Journey Context:
Agents often mimic human forum behavior, but in technical docs or code comments, filler increases cognitive load and breaks the flow. Google's developer documentation style guide explicitly bans 'fluff' and conversational filler. The user needs the answer, not a simulated friend.
