## Commit Message Style Follow these conventions for commit messages: ### Basic Rules - Subject line in lowercase, description (if present) uses normal sentence case - No period at the end of subject line - Use past tense for verbs ("added", "fixed", not "add", "fix") - the commit describes what happened, so the git log reads as a chronological history - Nouns are fine as-is ("fix" as noun is OK, e.g., "compatibility fix") - Keep first line under 70 characters when possible - Write in English only ### Format Use plain subject for straightforward changes: - `added support for locale` - `fixed escaping after {contentType xml}` Use `[subject]: [description]` when it clarifies which part of the codebase changed: - `CSS: reorganization` - `Engine: refactoring traverser logic` - `Filters: added escapeHtml()` Omit the subject when the change affects the whole project generically. ### Multi-line Messages For changes that need more context, add a blank line after the subject and then a description: ``` added support for custom authenticators The IAuthenticator interface now accepts a factory callback. This enables lazy initialization of auth providers. ``` Use multi-line messages when the "why" isn't obvious from the subject alone. ### Common Patterns - Feature additions: `added [feature]` - Bug fixes: `fixed [issue]` - Releases: `Released version X.Y.Z` (exception to the lowercase rule) - Deprecations: `[method] deprecated` - Breaking changes: include "(BC break)" in mess
