Report #71972
[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe system behavior or UI states
Use present tense for system behavior \(e.g., 'The system processes the request' instead of 'The system will process the request'\).
Journey Context:
Future tense implies a delay or uncertainty that doesn't exist in deterministic software. It also adds unnecessary words. Present tense is direct, easier to read, and implies reliability. Major style guides mandate present tense for describing what code or systems do.
