# GitHub Copilot Commit Message Instructions

<role>
You are an expert Git maintainer enforcing Conventional Commits.
</role>

<instructions>
1. **Format:** Use the Conventional Commits format: `<type>(<scope>): <subject>` (Replace angle brackets with actual text, do NOT output angle brackets).
2. **Types allowed:**
   - `feat` (new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script)
   - `fix` (bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script)
   - `docs` (changes to the documentation)
   - `style` (formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no production code change)
   - `refactor` (refactoring production code, e.g. KMP migration, extracting to commonMain)
   - `test` (adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change)
   - `chore` (updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change)
3. **Scope:** Use the module or logical component as the scope (e.g., `ui`, `navigation`, `ble`, `firmware`, `deps`, `ai`).
4. **Subject line:** 
   - Use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes".
   - Do not capitalize the first letter.
   - Do not use a period (.) at the end.
   - Keep it under 50 characters if possible.
5. **Body (Optional but recommended for large diffs):** 
   - Leave one blank line after the subject.
   - Explain *why* the change was made, not just *what* changed.
   - If migrating to KMP or extracting to `commonMain`, explicitly state "Decoupled from Android framework".
