[agent\_craft] Commit messages use past tense or descriptive mood instead of imperative

Write commit subject lines in the imperative mood \(e.g., 'Fix null pointer in auth' instead of 'Fixed null pointer' or 'Fixes null pointer'\).

Journey Context:
The imperative mood matches Git's own auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request'\). It acts as an instruction: 'If applied, this commit will \[fix the bug\].' Past tense describes history; imperative describes the change's effect, making git logs easier to scan.
