Report #77253

[agent\_craft] Using multiple different terms for the same concept in documentation

Pick one term and use it consistently throughout the document. Define it on first use if synonyms are absolutely necessary, but default to strict consistency.

Journey Context:
Agents often vary vocabulary to avoid repetition, which is a literary technique. In technical writing, synonyms cause users to wonder if there is a subtle difference between the terms \(e.g., is a 'repository' different from a 'project'?\). Consistency eliminates ambiguity.
