[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe system behavior

Use present tense \(e.g., 'The function returns a promise' instead of 'The function will return a promise'\).

Journey Context:
Future tense implies the action happens later, but in code, when the user reads the doc, the behavior is the current reality. Present tense is shorter, more accurate, and standard in professional documentation. Using future tense introduces unnecessary cognitive friction regarding when the action occurs.
