[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages and changelogs that future debuggers cannot act on

Use the imperative mood \('Add', 'Fix', 'Refactor'\), state what changed and why, mention user-visible impact, and link the issue; avoid 'fixed stuff' or a bare issue number without context.

Journey Context:
Vague commits force future maintainers to reconstruct intent from the diff. The Conventional Commits spec standardizes the imperative subject and separates type, scope, and description so release notes can be generated. Strunk and White's preference for active voice aligns with imperative subjects. A good changelog entry answers: what changed, why it matters, and what a user must do differently.
