Commit

Commit Workflow

Asked commit now != permission for future commits. Each commit needs explicit user instruction. No amend, revert, push without explicit ask.

Speed critical. No slow commands unless changes warrant.

Identify Files

• Prefer session context over re-running git status / log / diff.
• Clean session: all changed files. With context: only files you changed.

Translations

Frontend changes touching user-facing strings: inspect .po files for missing translations and translate them. Missing keys: flag user; don't commit until resolved.

Validation (judgment)

Skip if build / test / lint / format / aspire-restart / e2e already ran clean this session on same files. No re-run, no offer.

When need:

Run build first:

• Backend change: build (no flags - covers backend AND frontend; backend can break frontend via API contracts)
• Frontend-only: build --frontend
• CLI-only: build --cli

After build, parallel (--no-build where applicable):

• format --<target>, lint --<target> - per target whose code changed
• test --no-build - backend change
• aspire-restart - service / Aspire wiring change (large only)
• e2e - large frontend or shared E2E-covered change; --smoke for low-impact (rare pre-commit)

Judge target by file (project / manifest / lock files affect owning build, even when extension non-obvious).

Ask User

Simple, focused commit: propose one message, commit.

Complex (multiple unrelated changes, doesn't fit one line, validation choices needed, file set ambiguous): use AskUserQuestion - 2-4 message options + conditionals in one call. No back-and-forth. Follow up only on "Other" or unexpected input.

No conventional commit prefixes (feat:, fix:, docs:, chore:).

Conditional questions:

• Validation tools multi-select, only those flagged needed. Default skip.
• File selection if ambiguous.

Stage and Commit

Stage explicit files. Never git add -A or git add ..
