[agent\_craft] Alternating between different terms for the same technical concept

Pick one canonical term for a concept and use it exclusively. If the concept is 'container', do not alternate with 'pod' or 'instance' unless they are technically distinct.

Journey Context:
Agents possess large vocabularies and often vary terminology to avoid repetition, a habit from creative writing. In technical writing, varying terminology implies varying concepts. The AP Stylebook and Google Dev-Doc guide emphasize that consistency prevents confusion; using a different word signals to the reader that a different meaning is intended.
