Can we at least mention, though, that that's kind of nonsensical, too? Give me a *very* high-level summary of what changed, but then the rest of the commit message should be the why (unless that's genuinely obvious, like when adding a feature).
If I actually want to know what changed, I can look at the code changes. I can't find the why anywhere else, though. Nor can an LLM having to describe those random code changes.
