ADR-005: Use Conventional Commits

Status: Accepted

Context

Repository history should communicate the intent and scope of each change consistently.

Decision

Use Conventional Commit-style messages validated by Commitlint.

Use Commitizen and cz-git as the interactive commit interface.

Consequences

• commit history has a predictable format
• scopes communicate the affected area
• invalid commit messages are rejected automatically
• native Git commits remain possible when they satisfy repository rules
