docs: scope 80-char hard-wrap to commit messages - #323
Merged
Conversation
The commit-message format section said "hard wrap at 80 characters" with no stated scope, so the rule got applied to GitHub issue and PR bodies too. Those render as GitHub-flavored markdown and soft-wrap on their own; hard wrapping them produces ragged output in the web UI and fights the editor when someone revises the text. State the scope explicitly, matching the equivalent rule in the infra repo's CLAUDE.md. Key changes: - Add a Scope bullet limiting the 80-char hard-wrap to commit messages - Call out that PR descriptions, issues, and comments must not be hard-wrapped, breaking lines only where markdown requires it
