[agent\_craft] Writing code comments or documentation in passive voice

Rewrite using active voice \('The module parses the file' instead of 'The file is parsed by the module'\). Identify the actor and make it the subject.

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures who or what is performing the action, forcing the reader to deduce the actor. While sometimes necessary when the actor is unknown, in code and technical docs, the system or component is almost always the actor. Active voice is shorter, clearer, and more direct.
