Report #7926

[agent\_craft] Documenting the 'what' instead of the 'why' and 'how' in API reference docs

Start descriptions with a verb, provide runnable code snippets, and document edge cases and failure modes, not just happy paths.

Journey Context:
Agents copy function signatures into docstrings. Humans read docs to understand behavior, not just syntax. Google Dev-Doc style guide explicitly mandates starting descriptions with verbs and providing practical examples to bridge the gap between signature and usage.
