commit_preparation.rs

//! What:
//!  Native `git commit` in the shadow repository against the private commit index,
//!       the prepared commit read back from the shadow,
//!       and `prepared.json`.
//! Why:
//!  Git owns the hooks, the editor, the templates, the message cleanup and the signing;
//!  this module only points Git at the shadow and the private index.
//!  Every hook is off in the shadow (its config switches the commit events off and the hooks-off option comes
//!  first), so Git starts no external program for a hook and never starts the wrapper.
//!  A failing preparation removes the shadow so no shadow outlives the failure
//!  (`src/policy-engine/commit-preparation-native.ts`, `src/shadow-repository/shadow-repository.ts`).
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! await runNativePreparation({ gitPath, cwd, globalArgs, commitArgs, shadowPath, hookPlan, commitIndexPath });
//! ```
