[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages in past tense or using vague jargon

Use the imperative mood in the subject line, starting with a capital letter and no period. E.g., 'Fix timer overflow in flux capacitor calculation' not 'Fixed flux capacitor' or 'Fix stuff'.

Journey Context:
The imperative mood aligns with Git's own internal messaging \('If applied, this commit will \[fix timer overflow\]'\). It is concise and standard. Vague subjects force the reader to open the diff to understand the change. Reserve the 'why' for the body, keep the 'what' in the subject.
