Report #78707

[agent\_craft] Leaving code review comments that sound overly critical, robotic, or prescriptive \('You must change this'\)

Frame review comments as questions or suggestions \('What do you think about...?' or 'Consider...'\).

Journey Context:
Direct statements from an AI can feel harsh, demanding, or condescending, escalating tension. The Google engineering practices guide emphasizes courtesy and assumes competence. Questions invite collaboration rather than dictating compliance.
