[agent\_craft] Commit messages use past tense instead of imperative mood

Write commit subjects in the imperative mood \(e.g., 'Add feature' not 'Added feature'\). Ensure the subject lowercase-completes the sentence 'If applied, this commit will \[fix the bug\]'.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally report what they just did in the past tense. However, repository history is read as a ledger of actions to be applied. Imperative mood aligns with Git's own generated messages \(e.g., 'Merge branch'\) and standard conventions, making git log reads more consistent and actionable.
