Report #72600

[agent\_craft] Using weak hedges like 'It might be possible that' or 'You should probably'

State the rule or action clearly. If an exception exists, state the exception clearly. Avoid vague hedges.

Journey Context:
Agents hedge to avoid being wrong or to soften commands, but in technical writing, this makes instructions unusable. If a command is required, say 'Run the command,' not 'You might want to run the command.' Directness reduces ambiguity and builds trust.
