Description

Hey @hello-adam, noticed hobbits ships releases off conventional commits via semantic-release, with commitlint enforcing the format. I'm researching how teams keep commit messages consistent. I built a small tool in the space but I'm not selling anything here.

When a contributor's commit doesn't conform, what happens for you? Does it silently drop out of the changelog, block CI, or get fixed by hand afterward? And does that ever cost the team real time? Trying to learn whether this is worth solving. Fine to close if it's noise. Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names commitlint and semantic-release but gives no file, test, or requested change. Start by locating the repository's release and CI configuration, then document how non-conforming commits are handled if the project decides this question needs a documentation change.
