Align wording with the shared standard used across all four repos in
this project family. No behavioral change — same rules, consistent text.

## Commit Scope
- Keep commits small and reviewable by default.
- Prefer one commit per individual recipe change when that is practical.
- Otherwise group a commit around one coherent class of change, not multiple unrelated fixes or refactors.
- Split work before committing when a reviewer would benefit from evaluating the pieces independently.
- Only keep changes together when separating them would make the behavior harder to understand, test, or revert.
- Prefer squash or amend for related consecutive changes — if a follow-up commit only fixes or extends the immediately preceding commit, squash them into one rather than leaving a trail of iterative noise in the log.
- When CI flags a lint or test failure after a push, fix it locally and **amend or squash into the failing commit** (using `git push --force-with-lease`) rather than adding a new fix commit on top. A chain of "Fix lint" commits is the failure mode this rule prevents.
- Prefer one commit per logical change — a single coherent unit a reviewer can evaluate independently.
- Group related changes (e.g., a new feature + its test + the knowledge-base entry it required) into one commit when they can't be evaluated independently.
- Prefer squash or amend for iterative follow-ups — if a second commit only fixes or extends the immediately preceding one, squash rather than leaving noise in the log.
- Do not split a change just to make it look smaller; split when a reviewer would genuinely benefit from evaluating the pieces independently.
- When CI flags a lint or test failure after a push, fix locally and **amend or squash into the failing commit** (using `git push --force-with-lease`) rather than adding a new fix commit on top.
