Report #15429

[agent\_craft] Commit messages use past tense or gerunds instead of imperative mood

Write commit messages in the imperative mood \(e.g., 'Add feature' not 'Added feature' or 'Adding feature'\).

Journey Context:
Agents naturally generate descriptive prose \('I added...' or 'This commit adds...'\). The imperative mood matches Git's own auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge', 'Revert'\). It acts as an instruction of what the commit does to the codebase, creating a cleaner, more consistent git log when reading \`git log --oneline\`.
