[agent\_craft] When to use technical jargon vs plain language in developer docs

Define terms on first use. Use the industry-standard technical term if it is precise, but link to a glossary or definition. Do not invent cute synonyms.

Journey Context:
Oversimplifying technical terms \(e.g., calling a 'daemon' a 'background helper'\) confuses experts and prevents beginners from learning the correct search terms for further research. Use the precise term but explain it, balancing accessibility with technical accuracy.
