Stop auto-adding "Co-Authored-By: Claude" to git commits — no opt-in, no warning, pollutes history

Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
- Claude adds Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet X.X <noreply@anthropic.com> to every commit without asking
- No way to opt out without editing every commit message
- Required full git filter-branch + force push across entire repo history to clean up
- This is your work — AI attribution in commit history is unwanted and potentially problematic (licensing, employer policies, open source projects)
- Should be opt-in, not default
What Should Happen?
NOTHIGN !!!! DONT ADD IT !!!!
