[agent\_craft] Technical documentation sounds vague or avoids direct responsibility

Rewrite sentences to use active voice. Make the grammatical subject perform the action \(e.g., 'The system logs the error' instead of 'The error is logged by the system'\).

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures who does what, making instructions harder to follow and system behavior ambiguous. While passive voice is sometimes necessary when the actor is truly unknown or irrelevant, active voice is universally preferred for clarity and brevity. Strunk & White and modern dev-doc guides explicitly mandate it to eliminate ambiguity.
