Clones of this repo set core.hooksPath to .beads/hooks so the tracker's hooks run. That setting turns off the machine-wide git hooks, and one of those removed Co-Authored-By trailers from commit messages. With the tracker hooks on, nothing removed them any more.

This adds one commit-msg hook beside the tracker's wrappers. It deletes lines that start with Co-Authored-By: and the blank lines left at the end. A mention inside a sentence stays.

The hook cannot lose a message. A message without such a line is never touched. Otherwise the cleaned text is written to a fresh temporary file, checked against a second run, and renamed over the message only when every step worked. On any failure the message stays as it was and the commit stops.

Tested before it went anywhere: 780 message, shell, awk and locale combinations, a really full disk, signals arriving mid-run, and 28 real git scenarios. Without the hook the trailer stays.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Commit messages containing Co-Authored-By trailers are cleaned before the commit is completed. Messages without these trailers remain unchanged, and commits are stopped if the cleanup fails.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The new commit-msg hook removes Co-Authored-By trailer lines from commit messages. It trims trailing blank lines and replaces the original message only when the required operations succeed.

Changes

Commit message cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Detect and remove trailers .beads/hooks/commit-msg	The hook skips missing message files and messages without trailers. For matching messages, it removes trailer lines case-insensitively while preserving mentions within sentences. It trims trailing blank lines and reports errors when temporary-file creation, cleaning, comparison, or replacement fails.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b0fc9

A rare cleanup failure could erase a commit message. Check the second cleanup result before replacing the message; this is a bounded merge risk.

Review details

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in .beads/hooks/commit-msg: Adds a shell hook that skips missing message files and messages without a trailer, handles filenames beginning with -, and reports an error if trailer detection fails.
• observed — Modified behavior in .beads/hooks/commit-msg: Adds trailer removal and trailing-blank-line trimming, then writes and verifies the cleaned content in a temporary file before replacing the message. Temporary-file creation, rewriting, or replacement failures stop the commit; signal traps clean up the temporary file and prevent replacement during handled signals.
