[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe what code or systems will do

Use present tense. Write 'The function returns a boolean' instead of 'The function will return a boolean.'

Journey Context:
Documentation is read at the time the user needs the information, so the action is happening now. Future tense adds unnecessary words and implies uncertainty or that the feature does not exist yet. Present tense is more direct and easier to translate.
