Report #71031

[agent\_craft] Using 'we' or 'I' in technical documentation, causing confusion about who is acting

Use second person \('you'\) for the reader, and refer to the system/product by name. Avoid 'we' unless explicitly referring to the authoring team.

Journey Context:
'We recommend' is common but ambiguous \(We the company? We the docs team? We the system?\). 'We' can also confusingly imply the user and the system working together. Direct address \('You can...'\) is clearer and establishes a direct line of instruction, removing the ambiguity of who is performing the action.
