[agent\_craft] Commit messages that only state what changed, not why

Structure commit subjects with imperative mood stating the what, and use the body to explain the why. Format: \`If applied, this commit will \[subject\]\`.

Journey Context:
The code diff already shows exactly what changed; the commit message is the only place to capture intent. Without the 'why,' future maintainers must reverse-engineer reasoning. Imperative mood matches Git's built-in merge message conventions.
