NOTE: The commit-msg hook strips Co-Authored-By trailers so commits appear as sole-author.
Gotchas
git commit --no-verify bypasses pre-commit hook — logged in reflog but easy to forget. A CI check that fails on no-verify trailers prevents drift.
commit-msg hook transforms the message AFTER the editor closes — verify the final state with git show -s --format=%B, not the editor draft.
Azure DevOps strips Co-Authored-By server-side — local commits show co-author; PR display doesn't. Test what shows in the PR UI before assuming attribution worked.
git commit on a detached HEAD creates an orphan — git checkout main loses it unless you branch first. Reflog recovers but only for 30 days.
Trailing whitespace in commit messages: some hooks normalize, some preserve. Format-checks comparing raw vs normalized fail confusingly.
