CLAUDE.md has claimed since the file was written that commitlint gates the commit format in CI and that semantic-release runs off it. There was no commitlint config, no workflow running one, and nothing invoking .releaserc.yml — so the first thing every contributor and every agent reads about this repo was false in two places. scripts/commit-check.sh is the smaller honest answer: the grammar is one regex, and commitlint would mean a Node dependency tree at the root of a Go repo to run it. It is a commit-msg hook locally and a CI step over every commit in a push, and its type list is .releaserc.yml's so the check and the release rules cannot drift. The semantic-release half is recorded as configured-but-not-wired rather than implied to run.
