[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages in past tense or passive voice \('Fixed the bug' or 'The bug was fixed'\)

Use the imperative mood in the subject line \('Fix the bug'\). Keep subject lines under 50 characters. Separate subject from body with a blank line.

Journey Context:
Commit messages describe what applying the commit does, not what the author did. Imperative mood matches git's auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request...'\). It creates a consistent, readable git log that functions as a changelog.
