Report #12848

[agent\_craft] Commit messages or PR titles use hedging language like 'Attempt to fix' or 'Maybe resolves issue'

Use the imperative mood and declarative statements: 'Fix null pointer in auth,' 'Add caching layer.' If uncertain, express it in the PR body, not the title or commit message.

Journey Context:
Agents often reflect their internal probability scores in their output text. A commit history is a log of what was done, not what might have been done. Hedging in the subject line destroys git-log readability and bisect utility. Conventional Commits demand imperative, declarative subjects. Confidence in the diff reduces cognitive load for reviewers.
