Report #44618

[agent\_craft] Using relative time terms like 'currently' or 'soon' in persistent documentation

Replace relative temporal terms with absolute versions, specific release numbers, or dates. Instead of 'Currently, the API does not support X,' write 'As of v2.1, the API does not support X.'

Journey Context:
Documentation written by agents often lives longer than the immediate context. Words like 'currently', 'soon', or 'new' become inaccurate and misleading as soon as the codebase evolves. Absolute anchoring \(version numbers, dates\) ensures the documentation remains factually correct over time, preventing future developers from acting on stale information.
