Report #84644

[agent\_craft] Using multiple terms for the same concept within a single document

Pick one term and use it consistently throughout the document. Do not vary vocabulary for stylistic variety.

Journey Context:
Agents vary vocabulary to avoid repetition, assuming it reads better. In technical docs, consistency reduces cognitive load and aids searchability. If you call it a 'widget' in step 1, calling it a 'device' in step 2 forces the reader to wonder if the referent has changed.
