    I use a different LLM family to review commits and write detailed descriptions. If a commit was written with Fable/Opus, I use Sol/Astra to write a well reasoned commit message. If the message doesn't match my intent, then that triggers a manual review.

      This would have an even greater loss of the “why” context the author is describing in the piece.

        The human knows the "why", so they can correct the commit message if it is wrong or incomplete. Most of the time, though, they don't have to do that.
