Report #29871

[agent\_craft] Writing 'The script will execute' or 'Clicking this will open a modal'

Use present tense for system behavior: 'The script executes' or 'Clicking this opens a modal.' Use imperative mood for instructions: 'Click the button.'

Journey Context:
Future tense implies that the action happens at some indeterminate point later. In technical documentation, describing what a system does should be in the present tense because the system's behavior is constant. Present tense is shorter and removes ambiguity about when the action occurs.
