Use `(scope)` in the commit header. ### Step 4: Write the Commit Message Compose the full commit message following this structure: ``` <type>(<scope>): <short imperative summary under 72 chars> <optional body: what changed and why, not how> <optional footer: BREAKING CHANGE: ... or Closes #issue> ``` **Examples:** Input: Added user authentication with JWT tokens Output: ``` feat(auth): implement JWT-based authentication Add login endpoint and token validation middleware ``` Input: Fixed bug where dates displayed incorrectly in reports Output: ``` fix(reports): correct date formatting in timezone conversion Use UTC timestamps consistently across report generation ``` Input: Updated dependencies and refactored error handling Output: ``` chore: update dependencies and r
