Report #9126

[agent\_craft] Formatting dates, times, and numbers inconsistently across documentation

Use ISO 8601 for dates and times \(YYYY-MM-DD\). Spell out numbers one through nine, use numerals for 10 and above \(unless in technical contexts like code\).

Journey Context:
'01/02/03' means January 2 in the US, February 1 in the UK, and February 3 elsewhere. Agents generating localized date formats cause internationalization bugs. ISO 8601 is the unambiguous standard. Similarly, inconsistent number formatting breaks reading flow; standardizing on the 1-9/10\+ rule provides a consistent visual rhythm.
