Report #86606

[agent\_craft] Writing code comments that merely translate the syntax into English

Write comments that explain the business logic, constraints, or reasons why the code exists, not what it does.

Journey Context:
Code is inherently self-documenting for the 'what'. A comment like 'increment i by 1' is noise. A comment like 'Batch limited to 100 to avoid API timeout' provides context that cannot be derived from the code itself, saving hours of debugging.
