includeCoAuthoredBy setting does not prevent hardcoded Claude Code attribution in commit messages

Issue Description
The includeCoAuthoredBy: false setting in Claude Code settings.json does not prevent Claude Code from adding attribution to git commit messages. Claude Code still automatically adds:
Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
This appears to be hardcoded behavior that bypasses the configuration setting.
Expected Behavior
When includeCoAuthoredBy: false is set, no Claude Code attribution should be added to commit messages.
Actual Behavior
Claude Code adds attribution regardless of the setting value.
Configuration
{
"includeCoAuthoredBy": false
}
Request
Need a deterministic way to completely disable all Claude Code attribution in git commits and pull requests.
