[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages in past tense or descriptive mood

Use the imperative mood in the subject line \(e.g., 'Fix memory leak' instead of 'Fixed memory leak' or 'Fixes memory leak'\). Capitalize the first letter and omit the trailing period.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate commits describing what they did \('Fixed the bug'\) or what the code does \('Fixes memory leak'\). The imperative mood reads as an instruction of what applying the commit will do, matching Git's own generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge pull request'\). It keeps subject lines short, consistent, and aligns with Conventional Commits formatting.
