Rules

1. Always prefix the commit message with exactly one primary emoji
2. No conventional commit type prefix — use 🐛 Fix bug not fix: 🐛 Fix bug
3. Capitalize the first word after the emoji
4. No period at the end of the subject line
5. Keep it short — subject line under 72 characters
6. Pick the most specific emoji that applies (e.g. 💄 for a pure CSS change, not ✨)
