The commit names look very weird too, feel more like marketing speak:

> BREAKTHROUGH: Fix critical ID mismatch in Cap'n Web protocol

> TIER 3 ULTIMATE: Extreme Stress Tests & Advanced Capability Composition

> Achieve Cap'n Web protocol mastery with perfect capability composition (note: this exact commit name is repeated another time)

The commit descriptions are even worse. If they’re so blatantly not written for anyone to read, why bother generating them at all?

OP here. :-) (feel like I should put an emoji here). My focus as I "built" this was getting to a correct implementation, and putting in place guards and context to achieve that. As I moved through the process I added more and more ways to eval progress toward that. An area I didn't invest any of my effort in was commit messages, and some of them caused me to spit take as I saw them go by. I think this is something that can definitely be improved, and this conversation is fuel for thought on how to do this.
