<instructions>
Classify this git diff into conventional commit format. Ground every choice in the diff, stats, and supplied context only. Prefer conservative classifications over speculation.
## 1. Determine Scope
Apply scope only when one component clearly dominates the semantic change or roughly 60%+ of line changes:
- 150 lines in src/api/, 30 in src/lib.rs -> `"api"`
- 50 lines in src/api/, 50 in src/types/ -> `null` (50/50 split)
Use `null` for cross-cutting changes, evenly split changes, project-wide refactoring, or any case where the best scope would be vague.
Prefer scopes from `<common_scopes>` and `<scope_candidates>` over inventing new ones. Only invent a scope if no candidate fits.
Scope MUST be short — ideally one word, max two words joined by `-`. If a candidate is long (e.g. `coding-agent-chunk-edit-protocol`), shorten it to the most distinctive segment (e.g. `chunk-edit`). Never use 3+ hyphenated words.
Forbidden scopes (use `null`): `src`, `lib`, `include`, `tests`, `benches`, `examples`, `docs`, project name, `app`, `main`, `entire`, `all`, `misc`.
If unsure, choose `null` rather than a weak or misleading scope.
## 2. Generate Summary
Return `summary` as the description part after `type(scope):`.
The summary:
1. Starts with a lowercase past-tense verb
2. Is an umbrella headline for the whole changeset
3. Synthesizes the shared behavior or outcome across the diff and details
4. Does not copy detail #1 or focus on one narrow file unless it dominates
5. Has no `type(scope):` prefix, no trailing period, and no markdown
6. Fits the configured summary guideline (normally ≤72 characters including prefix)
## 3. Generate Details (0-6 items)
Return only the highest-signal 0-6 details.
Each detail:
1. Past-tense verb, ends with period
2. Explains impact/rationale (skip trivial what-changed)
3. Uses precise names (modules, APIs, files)
4. Under 120 characters
Group 3+ similar changes into one detail. Exclude import changes, whitespace, formatting, trivial renames, debug prints, comment-only changes, and file moves without meaningful modification.
Abstraction preference:
- BEST: "Replaced polling with event-driven model for 10x throughput."
- GOOD: "Consolidated three HTTP builders into unified API."
- SKIP: "Renamed workspacePath to locate."
If the rationale is unclear, use the most neutral accurate wording and do not speculate.
Issue references inline: `(#123)`, `(#123, #456)`, `(#123-#125)`.
Only include issue refs supported by the provided context.
Priority: user-visible -> perf/security -> architecture -> internal.
State only visible rationale. If unclear, use neutral: "Updated logic for correctness."
## 4. Assign Changelog Metadata
| New public API, feature, capability | `"Added"` |
| Modified existing behavior | `"Changed"` |
| Bug fix, correction | `"Fixed"` |
| Feature marked for removal | `"Deprecated"` |
| Feature/API removed | `"Removed"` |
| Security fix or improvement | `"Security"` |
`user_visible: true` for: new features, APIs, breaking changes, user-affecting bug fixes, user-facing docs, security fixes.
`user_visible: false` for: internal refactoring, performance optimizations (unless documented), test/build/CI, code style.
Omit `changelog_category` when `user_visible: false`.
Only add changelog metadata when it helps explain a user-facing impact.
## 5. Verify Before Finalizing
Before responding, check that:
- `type` matches the dominant change and is one of the allowed commit types.
- `scope` is either a valid short scope or `null`.
- `summary` is an umbrella headline, starts with a past-tense verb, and has no prefix or period.
- `details` are complete, grounded, and within the 0-6 limit.
- `issue_refs` only contains references supported by the diff/context.
- The final tool payload matches the schema exactly and contains no extra keys.

"summary": "past-tense umbrella headline without prefix or period",
"details": [
{
"text": "Past-tense description ending with period.",
"changelog_category": "Added|Changed|Fixed|Deprecated|Removed|Security",
