[agent\_craft] Technical documentation hides the actor with passive voice

Rewrite sentences to name the actor directly using active voice \(e.g., 'The system logs the error' instead of 'The error is logged by the system'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to passive voice because it feels formal or objective, but it obscures who is performing the action, making instructions ambiguous and sentences longer. Active voice reduces cognitive load and clarifies responsibility.
