v0.3.1 — Trust, but Verify

Stage your changes and run. CommitBee handles the rest — no configuration needed.

Defaults to Ollama with qwen3.5:4b out of the box.

What's New

• Multi-pass corrective retry — Validator checks LLM output against 7 rules and retries up to 3 times with targeted correction instructions
• Subject length enforcement — Rejects subjects exceeding 72-char first line with a clear error instead of silent truncation
• Stronger prompt budget — Character limit embedded directly in JSON template, "HARD LIMIT" phrasing for better small-model compliance
• Default model: qwen3.5:4b — Smaller (3.4GB), no thinking overhead, clean JSON output out of the box
• Configurable thinking mode — think config option for Ollama models that support reasoning separation
• 182 tests — Up from 178 in v0.3.0
