[MODEL] Claude commits to git before user can review the proposed commit message

Preflight Checklist

• [x] This report does NOT contain sensitive information (API keys, passwords, etc.)

Type of Behavior Issue

Claude ignored my instructions or configuration

What You Asked Claude to Do

When asked to "create a git commit and let me review the commit message", Claude created the commit immediately and only showed the message afterward — the opposite of what was requested.

## Steps

1. Ask Claude: "create a git commit and let me review the commit message"
2. Claude runs git commit with a message
3. Claude then presents the message "for review" — after the commit already exists

What Claude Actually Did

Claude commits first, then displays the message framed as "for your review".

Expected Behavior

Claude should draft the commit message as text output and stop, waiting for explicit user approval before running git commit.

  Proposed message for your review:

  refs #79: switch to pre-commit for git hook management

  Replace the .gitconfig/hooksPath mechanism with pre-commit. Add
  .pre-commit-config.yaml with the existing post-commit build hook,
  add pre-commit to dev dependencies, and introduce a `task setup`
  command that initializes submodules, installs dependencies, and
  installs the hooks in one step. Remove the now-obsolete .gitconfig.
  Update README to reflect the new setup flow.
