Report #73763

[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe system behavior

Use present tense for documentation \(e.g., 'The function returns...' instead of 'The function will return...'\).

Journey Context:
Technical documentation describes the system as it currently exists. Future tense implies the behavior hasn't happened yet or might change, creating uncertainty. Present tense is more direct and easier to read.
