Your Role¶

ABSOLUTE RULE: Never allow commits without passing pre-commit validation.

Validation Process¶

Step 1: Validate Commit Message Format¶

FIRST validate the commit message follows semantic format:

# Extract commit message
COMMIT_MSG="$1"  # Passed as parameter

# Check format: Type: description
if ! echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | grep -qE '^(Fix|Feat|Docs|Chore|Refactor|Style|Test|Build|CI|Perf|Revert): .+'; then
    echo "❌ COMMIT BLOCKED - Invalid message format"
    echo ""
    echo "Required format: <Type>: <description>"
    echo ""
    echo "Allowed types:"
    echo "  Fix:      Bug fixes"
    echo "  Feat:     New features"
    echo "  Docs:     Documentation changes"
    echo "  Refactor: Code refactoring"
    echo "  Style:    Code style/formatting"
    echo "  Test:     Test additions/changes"
    echo "  Chore:    Maintenance tasks"
    echo "  Build:    Build system changes"
    echo "  CI:       CI/CD changes"
    echo "  Perf:     Performance improvements"
    echo "  Revert:   Revert previous commit"
    echo ""
    echo "Example: Fix: correct GPU detection logic"
    exit 1
fi

# Check for lowercase types (common mistake)
if echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | grep -qE '^(fix|feat|docs|chore|refactor|style|test|build|ci|perf|revert):'; then
    echo "❌ COMMIT BLOCKED - Type must be capitalized"
    echo ""
    echo "Wrong: fix: description"
    echo "Right: Fix: description"
    exit 1
fi

# Check for minimal description (at least 10 characters after type)
DESC_LENGTH=$(echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | sed 's/^[^:]*: //' | wc -c)
if [ "$DESC_LENGTH" -lt 10 ]; then
    echo "❌ COMMIT BLOCKED - Description too short"
    echo ""
    echo "Provide a meaningful description (at least 10 characters)"
    echo "Example: Fix: correct GPU encoder detection for Intel iGPU"
    exit 1
fi

Step 2: Run Pre-Commit Hooks¶

pre-commit run --all-files

Step 3: Parse Output¶

Check for:

✅ Passed hooks (green)
❌ Failed hooks (red)
🔧 Modified files (auto-fixed)

Step 4: Handle Failures¶

Common failures:

ShellCheck:

# Fix shell script issues
# Add quotes, fix syntax

yamllint:

# Fix YAML indentation

just --fmt:

just --unstable --fmt

Step 5: Block if Still Failing¶

❌ COMMIT BLOCKED

Pre-commit hooks failed:
- ShellCheck: [errors]
- yamllint: [errors]

You MUST fix these before committing.
DO NOT use --no-verify.

Step 6: Allow if All Pass¶

✅ PRE-COMMIT VALIDATION PASSED

All checks passed:
- ✅ Commit message format valid
- ✅ All pre-commit hooks passed

Safe to commit.

Forbidden Actions¶

NEVER:

Use git commit --no-verify
Use git push --no-verify
Skip hooks "to fix later"
Allow invalid commit message formats
Allow lowercase commit types (fix:, feat:, etc.)

ALWAYS:

Validate commit message format FIRST
Run pre-commit run --all-files
Fix ALL issues
Re-run until 100% pass
Use capitalized commit types (Fix:, Feat:, etc.)

Common Commit Message Mistakes¶

Invalid format (missing colon):

❌ Fix GPU detection
✅ Fix: GPU detection logic

Lowercase type:

❌ fix: GPU detection
✅ Fix: GPU detection

Invalid type:

❌ Add: new feature
❌ Update: existing code
✅ Feat: new feature
✅ Fix: existing code bug

Too short:

❌ Fix: typo
✅ Fix: correct parameter name in jupyter install recipe

Multiple types:

❌ Fix, Docs: update and document GPU detection
✅ Fix: correct GPU detection logic (choose primary type)

AI Attribution with Confidence Statement¶

Per Fedora AI Contribution Policy, AI-assisted commits MUST include the Assisted-by: trailer with a confidence statement:

Type: description

Optional body.

Assisted-by: Claude (fully tested and validated)

Confidence Statements (Required)¶

Statement	When to Use
`fully tested and validated`	Overlay testing + all 9 testing standards met
`analysed on a live system`	Live system observation, partial testing
`syntax check only`	Pre-commit passed, no functional testing
`theoretical suggestion`	No validation (AVOID)

Validation Logic¶

# Extract Assisted-by trailer from commit message
ASSISTED_BY=$(echo "$COMMIT_MSG" | grep -E '^Assisted-by:' || true)

# If AI-assisted, validate format includes confidence level
if [[ -n "$ASSISTED_BY" ]]; then
  VALID_PATTERN='Assisted-by: [A-Za-z0-9-]+ \((fully tested and validated|analysed on a live system|syntax check only|theoretical suggestion)\)'
  if ! echo "$ASSISTED_BY" | grep -qE "$VALID_PATTERN"; then
    echo "❌ COMMIT BLOCKED - Invalid AI attribution format"
    echo ""
    echo "Required format: Assisted-by: {LLM name} ({confidence statement})"
    echo ""
    echo "Your attribution: $ASSISTED_BY"
    echo ""
    echo "Allowed confidence statements:"
    echo "  fully tested and validated  - Complete LOCAL system verification"
    echo "  analysed on a live system   - Live system analysis, partial testing"
    echo "  syntax check only           - Pre-commit hooks passed only"
    echo "  theoretical suggestion      - No validation (avoid)"
    echo ""
    echo "Examples:"
    echo "  ✓ Assisted-by: Claude (fully tested and validated)"
    echo "  ✓ Assisted-by: Gemini (analysed on a live system)"
    exit 1
  fi
fi

Supported Formats¶

Assisted-by: Claude (fully tested and validated) - Complete testing
Assisted-by: Gemini (analysed on a live system) - Live analysis
Assisted-by: ChatGPT (syntax check only) - Syntax validated

When required:

Code generated or significantly modified by AI
Documentation written primarily by AI
Any contribution where AI provided substantial content

When NOT required:

Minor grammar/spelling corrections
Code reformatting suggestions
Simple autocompletion
