…andard-version

Add commit message validation using commitlint and configure standard-version
for automatic changelog generation from commits. This ensures consistency and
eliminates manual changelog maintenance.

- Add commitlint configuration with Conventional Commits rules
- Add standard-version configuration with emoji-grouped changelog sections
- Add git commit-msg hook for automatic message validation
- Add commitlint and config-conventional to devDependencies
Add comprehensive documentation for contributors explaining the Conventional
Commits format and how to write proper commit messages for this project.

- CONTRIBUTING.md: Full guidelines with examples and explanations
- COMMIT_CONVENTION.md: One-page quick reference card for developers
- Covers all commit types, scopes, and changelog generation process
Add detailed technical documentation explaining how the automated changelog
system works, including system architecture, workflows, and customization.

- Explains Conventional Commits specification
- Documents the release workflow
- Shows commit type to changelog mapping
- Includes benefits and implementation details
- Provides migration notes and references
Remove the deprecated shebang and husky.sh sourcing lines from git hooks.
These lines are no longer needed in Husky v9 and will fail in v10.0.0.

Modern Husky v9 hooks are simpler - just the command itself.

Fixes the deprecation warning:
'Please remove the following two lines from .husky/pre-commit:
. "./_/husky.sh"
They WILL FAIL in v10.0.0'
Include detailed explanation of the automated changelog system,
file changes, commit structure, features, and usage instructions.

PR Compliance Guide 🔍

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
npx supply-chain execution

Description: The git hook executes commitlint via npx, which can (depending on npm/npx configuration
and whether dependencies are installed) download and run packages at commit time, creating
a supply-chain/code-execution risk; prefer invoking a locally installed binary (e.g.,
./node_modules/.bin/commitlint or npx --no-install commitlint) to avoid unexpected remote
installs.
commit-msg [1-1]

npx --no commitlint --edit "$1"

Possible issue
Make commit hook executable

In .husky/commit-msg, add the standard Husky hook wrapper and use npx to execute
commitlint. This ensures the hook is executable and can reliably find the
commitlint binary, preventing failures in Git hook environments.

.husky/commit-msg [1]

-commitlint --edit "$1"
+#!/bin/sh
+. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"
 
+npx --no-install commitlint --edit "$1"
+
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out a critical flaw in the commit-msg hook, which would likely fail in most environments, and provides a robust solution to ensure the commitlint binary is found and executed correctly.

Medium
Restore hook bootstrap wrapper

Restore the standard Husky hook wrapper, including the shebang and sourcing of
husky.sh, in the .husky/pre-commit file to ensure the hook executes reliably
across different platforms and environments.

.husky/pre-commit [1]

+#!/bin/sh
+. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"
+
 npx lint-staged

[To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually]

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that removing the standard Husky wrapper from the pre-commit hook makes it less robust and could cause it to fail in various environments, so restoring it is a valuable improvement.

Possible issue
Fix invalid npx flag in commit-msg hook
Suggestion Impact:Updated the commit-msg hook command to use the correct `npx` flag (`--no-install`) so the hook runs properly.

code diff:

@@ -1 +1 @@
-npx --no commitlint --edit "$1"
+npx --no-install commitlint --edit "$1"

In the .husky/commit-msg file, replace the invalid npx flag --no with the
correct flag --no-install to fix the commit hook.

.husky/commit-msg [1]

-npx --no commitlint --edit "$1"
+npx --no-install commitlint --edit "$1"

[Suggestion processed]

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a critical bug in the .husky/commit-msg hook where an invalid flag --no is used for npx, which would cause the hook to fail.

High
Restore Husky initialization in pre-commit

Restore the shebang and the sourcing of the Husky helper script in the
.husky/pre-commit file to ensure proper execution.

.husky/pre-commit [1]

+#!/bin/sh
+. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"
 npx lint-staged
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies that the PR removed the standard Husky boilerplate from the pre-commit hook, which is crucial for ensuring the hook runs reliably in different environments.

Medium

The --no flag is not a valid npx option and causes the hook to fail.
Use --no-install to prevent npx from downloading commitlint if not already cached.

This fixes the CI build failures caused by invalid hook syntax.
Since @commitlint/cli is already in devDependencies, invoke the local binary
directly instead of using npx. This is more reliable, doesn't depend on npx
availability, and follows best practices for git hooks.

Also update package-lock.json to ensure it's in sync with package.json.
