Report #1755

[agent\_craft] Vague or context-less commit messages and PR descriptions

Use the imperative mood in commit subjects \(e.g., 'Add validation' not 'Added validation'\). Separate subject from body with a blank line. Limit the subject line to 50 characters and wrap the body at 72 characters. Explain \*why\* the change was made in the body, not just \*what\* changed.

Journey Context:
Agents often write commits that just describe the code diff \(e.g., 'updated index.js'\) or use past tense. The code itself shows \*what\* changed; the commit message must explain \*why\* to future humans. Imperative mood matches Git's auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request...'\) and reads as a direct instruction for what applying the commit will do.
