[agent\_craft] Commit messages use past tense or descriptive mood instead of imperative

Write commit messages in the imperative mood \(e.g., 'Add validation logic' instead of 'Added validation logic' or 'Adds validation logic'\).

Journey Context:
Agents naturally describe what they did \('I changed the file'\) or what the code now does \('It adds validation'\). The imperative mood is the standard because a commit is an instruction: 'If applied, this commit will \[add validation logic\].' Matching this convention ensures git logs read consistently as a changelog.
