Report #79129

[agent\_craft] Using relative time words like 'currently' or 'soon' in documentation

Replace relative temporal references with absolute terms or version-specific language \(e.g., 'As of v2.1' instead of 'Currently'\).

Journey Context:
Documentation ages. 'Currently' or 'soon' might be true today but becomes misleading or confusing next year. Agents generating docs often snapshot the current state without context. Tying statements to specific versions makes the doc self-correcting or clearly outdated rather than subtly wrong.
