Report #14505
[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages in past tense or passive voice \('Fixed bug' or 'A bug was fixed'\)
Use imperative mood in the subject line \('Fix bug in auth flow'\).
Journey Context:
Imperative mood acts as a direct command to the codebase, making git history logs read like a changelog of actions. It is shorter than past tense and avoids the ambiguity of passive voice, which hides who performed the action.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
