## Semantic Versioning Impact
12
+
13
+
Each commit type maps to a version bump level. You MUST choose the type that accurately reflects the nature of the change:
14
+
15
+
| Version Bump | Trigger | When to Use |
16
+
|---|---|---|
17
+
| **MAJOR** (x.0.0) | `is_breaking: true` on ANY type | Incompatible API changes: removed public APIs, renamed exports, changed function signatures, changed return types, removed configuration options, or any change that requires consumers to modify their code |
18
+
| **MINOR** (0.x.0) | `feat` | A new feature or capability is added. The change introduces new behavior that did not exist before. Existing behavior remains unchanged |
19
+
| **PATCH** (0.0.x) | `fix`, `perf`, `refactor`, `style`, `docs`, `chore`, `test`, `ci` | Bug fixes, performance improvements, internal refactors, documentation, and maintenance. No new features, no breaking changes |
20
+
21
+
### Critical Rules for Type Selection
22
+
- **`feat`** = something genuinely NEW is added (new endpoint, new CLI option, new user-facing capability). Do NOT use `feat` for improving, updating, or fixing existing functionality.
23
+
- **`fix`** = corrects a bug or incorrect behavior in existing functionality.
24
+
- **`refactor`** = restructures existing code without changing its external behavior.
25
+
- **`perf`** = a code change that improves performance without adding features or fixing bugs.
26
+
- **`docs`** = documentation-only changes.
27
+
- **`style`** = formatting, whitespace, semicolons — no logic changes.
28
+
- **`chore`** = build process, tooling, dependency updates, or other maintenance tasks.
29
+
- **`test`** = adding or correcting tests.
30
+
- **`ci`** = CI/CD configuration changes.
31
+
32
+
### Breaking Change Guidelines
33
+
Mark `is_breaking: true` ONLY when the change is genuinely incompatible — consumers of the code must take action to adapt. Concrete examples:
34
+
- Removing or renaming a public function, class, CLI command, or API endpoint
35
+
- Changing the type signature of a public interface (parameters, return values)
36
+
- Changing default behavior that users rely on
37
+
- Removing a configuration option or changing its semantics
38
+
- Changing data formats in a way that breaks existing consumers
39
+
40
+
Do NOT mark as breaking:
41
+
- Internal refactors that don't affect the public API
42
+
- Adding new optional parameters with defaults
43
+
- Adding new features alongside existing ones
44
+
- Bug fixes (even if they change incorrect behavior to correct behavior)

-

- Remove or significantly change existing functionality

### Secret Detection
38
69
- Review the diff for potential secrets (API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, credentials, etc.).
39
70
- For every suspected secret, add an entry to the `secrets` array with the file path, a brief description, and a `level`.
40
71
- Use `level: "error"` when an actual secret value appears (tokens, passwords, private keys, credentials, connection strings, or high-entropy values).
41
72
- Use `level: "warning"` when only key names or variable names appear without values (e.g., `API_KEY`, `SECRET_KEY`, `PASSWORD`).
42
73
- If no secrets are found, return an empty array.

1. Review the diff comprehensively

-
2. Identify the primary type of change
47
-
3. Determine appropriate scope from modified files/areas
48
-
4. Craft a concise message covering main changes
49

5. Assess backward compatibility impact

6. Flag any suspected secrets
