Report #50498

[agent\_craft] Commit messages or PR descriptions just repeat the diff instead of explaining intent

Use imperative mood for subject lines; the body must explain \*why\* the change was made, not \*what\* was changed \(the diff shows what\).

Journey Context:
Agents often summarize line-by-line. Humans read commits to understand history. Repeating 'if \(x\)' -> 'if \(y\)' is zero-signal. Explaining 'Fix off-by-one error in loop boundary' is high-signal. Conventional Commits standardize this structure to force intent separation.
