What it does
Generate one short Conventional Commits squash message describing only the net diff between the PR's base and head, set its header as the PR title, validate it with the repository's commitlint and both copy its description to the clipboard and display it, when asked for a squash message. Works in any Scenario repository, whatever its default branch.
Squash message
One short commit message for the whole PR. It describes the destination, the net diff between the PR's base and its head, never the journey: a commit that only repairs code introduced earlier on this branch is invisible to the base branch, so it gets no fix, no bullet, no mention. Installed in every repo, so conventions are discovered.
Untrusted PRs. Running anything from the branch (checks, tests, commitlint, installs) executes the branch's own code, whichever command you pick, so where the command comes from does not matter. Trust the PR only when gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/<n> --jq '[.head.repo.full_name == .base.repo.full_name, .author_association] | @tsv' prints true and OWNER, MEMBER or COLLABORATOR (a fork or an outside author fails). On an untrusted PR, run nothing from the branch without asking: say what you skipped and ask first.
GitHub's squash dialog takes the subject from the PR title and the description from what you paste. So the header goes in the PR title and the clipboard gets the description only. Release-please starts a new changelog entry at every blank line followed by type(scope): , so a description that opens with the header logs the change twice.
