One commit per issue/logical change, and every commit's author and committer must be the human accountable for the work -- never a tool, bot, or AI agent identity, and no AI co-author trailers. AGENTS.md points any AI coding agent working here back to CONTRIBUTING.md as the authoritative source for this.

Contributing
See the README's Contributing section for what kinds of patches are welcome and the PII rules for diagnostics/dumps in a PR. This file covers how changes get committed.
Commits
- One commit per issue or logical change. Don't bundle unrelated fixes into a single commit, even when working through a batch of issues in one sitting — each issue gets its own commit (and its own PR, unless there's a specific reason to combine them).
- Author and committer must be the human accountable for the change —
never a tool, bot, or AI agent identity — including when the change was
drafted or applied by an AI coding agent. Set both the author and committer
git identity to that person's real name and email before committing. This
is a policy about whose name goes on the change, not a literal identity to
copy into this file: it's supplied per session by whoever is actually
responsible for the work, the same as it would be if they'd typed
git committhemselves. - No co-author trailers for AI tools or assistants. Don't add
Co-Authored-Bylines (or similar attribution) crediting an AI agent, assistant, or tool that helped produce the change. The commit is attributed entirely to the accountable human.
