Report #22458

[agent\_craft] Documenting code behavior using future tense

Write documentation in the present tense \(e.g., 'This method adds a user' instead of 'This method will add a user'\).

Journey Context:
Future tense implies the action hasn't happened yet, making docs feel provisional and quickly outdated. Present tense is immediate and describes what the code does right now. It is shorter and eliminates ambiguity about when the action occurs.
