Report #9437

[agent\_craft] Writing code snippets, CLI commands, or file paths inline with regular prose without distinct formatting

Use inline code formatting \(backticks\) for filenames, CLI commands, and short code elements. Use fenced code blocks for multi-line code snippets. Never style code in quotes or italics.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes output \`python main.py\` as "python main.py" or "run the main.py file". Without distinct formatting, the human cannot easily distinguish code from prose, leading to copy-paste errors or misreading commands. Google Dev-Doc style guide specifies exact formatting rules for code to visually separate it from descriptive text.
