[agent\_craft] Writing code comments that merely restate the code syntax

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

Journey Context:
Code should be self-documenting; if you need to explain what it does, rewrite the code to be clearer. Comments that restate syntax add noise and become stale as code changes. 'Why' comments capture intent, constraints, or workarounds that cannot be expressed in code.
