[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages with long, wrapping subject lines or using past tense instead of imperative mood

Limit subject lines to 50 characters. Use imperative mood in the subject line \(e.g., 'Fix bug' not 'Fixed bug'\). Wrap body text at 72 characters.

Journey Context:
Imperative mood matches the style of Git's own auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request'\). 50 chars forces specificity. 72 char wrap respects standard terminal widths. This is the canonical standard for git commits, ensuring logs remain readable and uniform across all tools.
