[agent\_craft] Commit messages that only state what changed, not why

Structure commit messages with a concise imperative subject line \(under 50 chars\) and a body explaining the motivation and context for the change.

Journey Context:
The git diff already shows exactly \*what\* changed. The human needs to know the intent to evaluate if the change is correct and to navigate history later. The imperative mood \('Fix leak' vs 'Fixed leak'\) aligns with Git's own generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge'\) and is the canonical standard for commit subjects.
