Fine, but none of that is in a normal commit message, lets be real...

Which circles back to why it's important for leadership to tackle this

Yes, but not in the form of commit messages, the parent comment described things better suited to jira tickets, documentation etc.

It feels like we're trying really hard to stretch the utility of commit messages here...

Mainly I was pushing back on: the code is the "truth"

I don't feel that is an accurate statement for any complex system.

I don't like complex systems, and I work hard not to create them.

		Sure but code can't capture everything. Maybe with enough comments I guess, but not code alone. For example, code won't tell you that this feature was timeboxed hence this edgecase was not supported
