[agent\_craft] Writing changelog or commit messages in past tense describing agent actions

Use imperative mood for commit messages and changelogs \(e.g., 'Add feature' not 'Added feature' or 'I added feature'\).

Journey Context:
Agents naturally narrate their process in past tense \('I updated the config'\). Humans reading git logs or changelogs need to know what the patch does when applied. Imperative mood aligns with Git's built-in merge message generation and standard open-source conventions, reducing cognitive load for developers scanning histories.
