Report #87271

[agent\_craft] Inconsistent capitalization and punctuation in bulleted lists

Make list items parallel in structure. If any item in the list is a complete sentence, capitalize and punctuate all items. If all items are fragments, do not use terminal punctuation.

Journey Context:
Agents frequently mix complete sentences and fragments in the same list, or arbitrarily add periods. This creates visual noise and distracts the reader. AP Stylebook and Google Dev-Docs guide prescribe parallelism. Consistent structure allows the human brain to parse the list as a single unit of information rather than evaluating each item's grammatical status individually.
