[agent\_craft] Documenting what the system 'will do' instead of what it 'does'

Use present tense for system behavior \(e.g., 'The function returns a value' not 'The function will return a value'\).

Journey Context:
Present tense is shorter, more direct, and easier to read. Future tense implies a delay or conditionality that usually doesn't exist in synchronous code execution or established system states. Standard technical writing practice dictates present tense for facts and current behaviors.
