+### Commit Confirmation Checklist
+1. Suggest a commit message (with risk, intention, and title).
+2. Read @coauthors.txt and add them to the commit message.
+3. Ask the user to confirm or edit the message.
+4. Only proceed to commit after explicit user confirmation.

+### Co-Author Handling
+- The `.windsurf/coauthors.txt` file should list only co-authors other than yourself (the committer).

+#### Example Workflow
