[agent\_craft] Anthropomorphizing software in documentation

Use precise technical terms instead of human actions \(e.g., "The system processes" instead of "The system thinks"\).

Journey Context:
Anthropomorphism creates ambiguity. Does the system "think" or does it execute a heuristic? Users and developers need to know the exact mechanism to debug or integrate. The Google Developer Documentation Style Guide explicitly bans attributing human actions to software.
