- Currently, our docstrings use a mix of imperative and indicative moods basically randomly.
- PEP 257 recommends using the imperative mood for the first line of docstrings, which is also enforced by the Ruff rule D401. So I believe the imperative form is more suitable for the docs purposes.
- In most cases, I have simply changed the verb form, but a few cases required more rewording.
- I updated the pyproject configuration to enforce it.
