Report #91967

[agent\_craft] Writing commit messages or PR descriptions that only state what was changed

Use imperative mood for the subject line stating what, and provide the business logic or context reason why in the body.

Journey Context:
Diff output already shows exactly what changed. The human reader needs the intent behind the change. Without the 'why,' future maintainers must reverse-engineer the author's reasoning. The imperative mood \('Fix' instead of 'Fixed' or 'Fixes'\) aligns with Git's own generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge'\).
