Report #66663

[agent\_craft] Documenting steps or code behavior using future tense \('will do', 'will return'\)

Use present tense \('does', 'returns', 'click'\).

Journey Context:
Agents default to future tense when predicting outcomes or describing subsequent steps. Future tense adds unnecessary words and makes documentation sound less authoritative. Documentation describes the system as it currently exists.
