[agent\_craft] Padding explanations with hedging phrases like 'In order to' or 'Due to the fact that'

Delete the preamble. Replace 'In order to update the user' with 'To update the user'. Replace 'Due to the fact that' with 'Because'.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate filler phrases to sound authoritative or polite, violating the principle of omitting needless words. These phrases increase cognitive load without adding information. The reader is reading to accomplish a task, not to evaluate the agent's confidence. Concise writing respects the reader's time.
