Report #36907
[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe system behavior in documentation
Use present tense \(e.g., 'The function returns a value' instead of 'The function will return a value'\).
Journey Context:
Documentation describes the system as it currently exists. Future tense makes text wordier and less immediate, implying the behavior hasn't happened yet or is conditional. Present tense is the standard for technical descriptions because it states facts, not predictions.
