Report #92206

[agent\_craft] Padding sentences with filler phrases like 'In order to', 'Due to the fact that', or 'It is important to note that'

Delete the filler. Change 'In order to run' to 'To run'. Change 'Due to the fact that' to 'Because'. Omit meta-discourse like 'It is important to note that'.

Journey Context:
Agents add filler to sound formal or authoritative, but it increases the cognitive load without adding information. Strunk and White's principle of omitting needless words is critical for AI-generated text, which tends to be verbose. If something is important, state it directly; the 'note that' prefix dilutes the impact.
