Report #70553

[agent\_craft] Git commit messages are unstructured walls of text mixing what and why

Use imperative mood in the subject line \(under 50 chars\). Separate subject from body with a blank line. Wrap body at 72 chars. Explain \*why\* in the body, \*what\* in the subject.

Journey Context:
Agents often write descriptive past-tense commits \('Fixed the bug'\). Git tools truncate long subjects. Imperative mood matches Git's auto-generated messages \('Revert', 'Merge'\). Structured bodies save reviewers time by separating the change from the rationale, and the blank line ensures \`git log --oneline\` works correctly.
