Commit and pull request hygiene

Rules on the change itself rather than the code: commit message format, PR description, size limits, required labels or linked tickets.

Sub-techniques

Commit message lint V1004.001

Enforce a message convention so changelogs and release tooling can parse history.
Pull request rules V1004.002

Fail or warn when a PR is too large, lacks a description, or touches files without matching tests or docs.
