v1.18.1

The pre-push hook now reviews only the pushed commit on a new branch or tag instead of the working tree, and the MCP review tool's min_severity argument now filters the returned findings.

Released October 10, 2026

Fixed

  • install-hook --hook=pre-push: when pushing a new branch or tag, the hook compared the working tree against the pushed commit instead of reviewing the commit itself. It now reviews the tip commit only (against the empty tree for a root commit). Annotated tags are reviewed as their commit; a pushed ref that does not resolve to a commit, or whose parent is missing in a shallow clone, is skipped with a warning. An installed hook keeps its old script until you regenerate it with commitbrief install-hook --hook=pre-push --yes.
  • MCP review tool: min_severity had no effect. It now trims findings[] in the returned document; the fail_on gate still evaluates the full set, and the text summary notes that lower-severity findings are excluded. The CLI --json output is unchanged and stays unfiltered.
  • github.com/spf13/pflag and github.com/muesli/termenv are now listed as direct dependencies in go.mod.
