v1.13 → v1.15: replacing inference with evidence
Three releases that look unrelated — a JSON parser change, one config key, four new commands — and the single direction underneath them: every claim CommitBrief makes should be something it can show you, and the ones that don't need a model shouldn't call one.
Three flags into one subcommand: the `commitbrief diff` collapse and what it taught me about CLI surface area.
v0.9.0 retired --commit, --branch, and --pull-request in favour of a single 'diff' subcommand that pass-throughs to git diff. A note on why reinventing what git already does is the wrong shape.
Hooks that survive Tower, GitHub Desktop, and JetBrains.
Why git hooks installed from the command line silently fail when you commit from a GUI client — and the absolute-path embedding trick that makes commitbrief install-hook just work everywhere.
Review before the push: why the strongest review window is right before `git commit -m`.
Why CommitBrief defaults to --staged scope. Reviewing a change that hasn't entered history yet is always cheaper than patching it with a force-push.
