Report #94226

[agent\_craft] Generated text is dense and hard to read due to nominalizations \(zombie nouns\)

Convert nominalizations back into verbs. Instead of 'make a calculation', use 'calculate'. Instead of 'provide an explanation', use 'explain'.

Journey Context:
Agents trained on academic or legal corpora often produce text like 'The implementation of the resolution requires consideration.' This hides the action and forces the reader to unpack the noun phrase. Verbs drive action and clarity. 'To resolve this, we must consider...' is instantly comprehensible.
