[agent\_craft] Documentation headings describe topics instead of tasks

Use gerund task phrases front-loaded with keywords: 'Authenticating API requests' instead of 'Authentication'.

Journey Context:
Topic headings make readers scan blindly; task headings match how people search. Google's heading guidelines recommend gerunds for procedures and front-loading keywords for SEO and scannability. The common mistake is one-word headings that read like a taxonomy. Trade-off: task headings can feel longer, but they answer 'What will I learn?' before the reader clicks, which matters more in generated documentation.
