Report #3479

[agent\_craft] Commit messages or PR descriptions use past tense or conversational tone

Use imperative mood and neutral, factual tone. Start commit messages with verbs like 'Add', 'Fix', 'Update', 'Refactor'.

Journey Context:
Past tense \('Fixed bug'\) describes history, but imperative \('Fix bug'\) describes what the patch does when applied. Imperative mood aligns with Git's built-in merge messages and reduces cognitive friction for human reviewers scanning logs.
