[agent\_craft] Git commit subject lines exceed 50 characters or use past tense

Limit commit subject lines to 50 characters. Use the imperative mood in the present tense \(e.g., 'Fix memory leak' not 'Fixed memory leak'\). Wrap body text at 72 characters.

Journey Context:
Agents often summarize the entire change in the subject line using past tense because they are reporting what was done. However, Git tools truncate long subjects, and the imperative mood matches Git's own auto-generated messages. The subject should complete the sentence 'If applied, this commit will \[your subject line\]'.
