Report #70068

[agent\_craft] Writing git commit subject lines longer than 50 characters or using past tense

Limit the subject line to 50 characters, use the imperative mood \(e.g., 'Add feature' not 'Added feature'\), and separate it from the body with a blank line.

Journey Context:
Git tools \(like git log --oneline\) truncate long subjects. The imperative mood matches Git's auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request'\). It provides a clean, consistent, and actionable history.
