[agent\_craft] Using future tense in technical documentation

Use present tense. Write 'The function returns a string' instead of 'The function will return a string.'

Journey Context:
Future tense adds unnecessary words and makes documentation sound less authoritative and more speculative. Code execution is conceptually a present-state machine when read by the user. The only exception is when explicitly describing an actual future event \(e.g., 'Deprecation takes effect in 2025'\).
