[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages in past tense or describing what was done instead of what the commit does

Write commit subjects in the imperative mood \(e.g., 'Fix null pointer in auth handler', not 'Fixed null pointer'\). Limit subjects to 50 characters. Separate subject from body with a blank line.

Journey Context:
Past tense \('Fixed bug'\) describes a historical artifact. Imperative mood \('Fix bug'\) describes what the commit does when applied. This matches Git's own auto-generated messages \('Merge'\) and makes git logs read as a clean, actionable changelog of operations.
