[agent\_craft] Using future tense \('will'\) to describe how a system currently works

Use present tense for current behaviors \(e.g., 'The function returns a value' instead of 'The function will return a value'\).

Journey Context:
Technical documentation describes the system as it is. Using 'will' implies uncertainty or a future state that hasn't been implemented yet. Agents often pick up future tense from conversational habits or marketing copy, but in dev docs, present tense is authoritative and concise.
