Report #71766

[agent\_craft] Using project-specific or domain-specific acronyms without defining them on first use

Spell out the term on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Use the acronym alone thereafter.

Journey Context:
Agents learn from codebases where acronyms \(like DML, DTO, SLA\) are ubiquitous and assume the reader shares this context. Undefined acronyms alienate new contributors and break translation tools. Defining them once costs almost nothing in space but prevents total comprehension failure.
