[agent\_craft] Spelling out technical measurements or code elements due to general English rules for numbers under 10

Always use numerals for technical measurements, units, and code elements \(e.g., '5 ms', '3 nodes', '0 errors'\), even when under 10. Apply AP Style spelling rules only for general prose.

Journey Context:
General writing rules conflict with technical writing rules. An agent might spell out 'five milliseconds' following standard English rules, which is jarring and harder to parse in a technical context. Google Dev-Docs overrides general style guides for technical contexts to prioritize immediate comprehension.
