git-policy

WellForge git policy — linear history (no merge commits) and Conventional Commits, in every WellForge repo including generated ones. Use whenever writing a commit message, integrating a branch, opening or merging a PR, setting up a fresh clone, fixing a rejected commit or a red commit-lint / linear-history gate, or configuring branch protection. Authoritative reference for the commit format, the four enforcement layers (local config, committed hooks, CI gates, branch protection), the rebase-not-merge integration rule, and what to do when a gate rejects your commit.
