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

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

Journey Context:
Future tense implies uncertainty or a sequence of time that hasn't occurred, adding unnecessary words and cognitive load. Present tense is direct, shorter, and easier to translate. A common mistake is writing 'Clicking this will open a dialog' instead of 'Clicking this opens a dialog'.
