[agent\_craft] Using future tense \("will return"\) in technical documentation

Use present tense \("returns"\). Describe system behavior as current fact.

Journey Context:
Future tense implies uncertainty or a delayed action, adding unnecessary words. Present tense is direct, confident, and standard. Google Dev-Doc and plainlanguage.gov both mandate present tense for describing what code does, as code behavior is a constant fact, not a future prediction.
