Report #88416

[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages in past or present tense \('Fixed bug' / 'Fixes bug'\)

Write commit messages in the imperative mood \('Fix bug'\).

Journey Context:
A commit message describes what the commit does if applied, not what you did to write it. Imperative mood matches Git's own auto-generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request...'\). It is shorter and creates a consistent, actionable log.
