[agent\_craft] Generating commit messages that only describe what code changed

Structure commit messages with an imperative subject line under 50 characters \(what\), a blank line, and a body explaining the motivation and context \(why\).

Journey Context:
git diff already shows what changed. The commit message's true value is preserving the intent behind the change for future maintainers. Agents often write 'Updated index.js' which is redundant. Using the imperative mood \('Add feature' not 'Added feature'\) matches Git's own auto-generated messages.
