Report #82269

[agent\_craft] Using future tense in documentation \(e.g., 'Clicking this will open the dialog'\)

Use present tense: 'Clicking this opens the dialog' or 'The function returns a string'.

Journey Context:
Agents learn from conversational text which heavily uses future tense. However, technical documentation should describe the system as it currently exists. Present tense is shorter, more direct, and avoids the implication that the action might not happen.
