[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe the result of a user action

Use present tense for system reactions \(e.g., 'The system displays a message' instead of 'The system will display a message'\).

Journey Context:
Future tense implies a delay or uncertainty. When a user clicks a button, the result is immediate. Present tense is more direct, concise, and confident. Technical style guides explicitly recommend present tense for describing states and actions to avoid sounding hesitant.
