Adds `getCommitContext()`, which gathers the changes a commit message should describe. Part 1 of 4 for AI commit-message generation; nothing consumes it yet. Every command runs through `execFile` with an argument array, so no path is ever interpolated into a shell string, and both listings are read NUL-delimited: `git diff --cached --name-status -z` for the index and `git status --porcelain=v1 -z --untracked-files=all` for the working tree. Their rename records disagree on field order - the diff form emits the original path first, porcelain the new one - so each has its own parser. Copy records carry two paths as well and appear whenever `diff.renames = copies` is configured, so they are consumed correctly even though copy detection is never requested; reading one path where there are two would shift every later record onto the wrong file. The result is a typed `CommitContextResult` rather than a string. Failures that are expected rather than exceptional - an oversized diff exceeding `maxBuffer`, a repository git refuses to describe - come back as a reason, so the function never rejects. Branch and recent subjects are collected as context, and tolerate the unborn-HEAD case where `git log` fails outright. Untracked files have no diff, so a bounded head of each one is read directly: without it an untracked-only change reaches the model as a bare list of filenames. Only the first 2KB of each file is read, so an enormous file costs nothing, and anything containing a NUL byte is skipped as binary. Output is capped by characters as well as lines. A line limit alone is not a bound - one minified or generated file can be a single line of several megabytes. Staged changes are collected first, since that is what a commit will actually contain. When nothing is staged it falls back to the working tree so callers still have something to summarize before staging. That fallback deliberately runs `git diff` rather than `git diff HEAD`: the index is known to be empty at that point so the output is identical, but `HEAD` does not resolve in a repository without an initial commit, where it would fail.

Falling back to the working tree meant the message could describe changes the commit would not contain. An empty index now returns `nothing-staged`, which the caller turns into advice to stage something, and `no-changes` is reserved for a genuinely clean tree. Removes the untracked-file reading that only the fallback needed.

You might wanna focus on either staged or unstaged. No reason to include unstaged if you have staged. |
Yeah, focusing on staged only, if unstaged it will show a message "Stage the changes you want to commit, then generate the message." If they were unstaged, for some reason ollama cloud models would stay stuck and not generate any message. However, local models would still be able to generate the commit message for all of the unstaged files (0 staged). So decided to ditch the whole unstage files and the models will now only look for the staged, throwing that message if none are staged (also may avoid behavior such as commiting a bunch of files that include different implementations, which should be separated in different commits/branches anyways). I have also added a cancel commit button + commit message generation timeout (changeable) |

Would you make rename and copy detection explicit in this Git command so classification does not vary with each user's Git configuration?

Description
Adds
getCommitContext(), the Git-reading half of AI commit-message generation.Nothing consumes it yet — that arrives in stack 2. This PR is self-contained and
introduces no user-facing behavior.
Staged first, working tree as fallback. Staged changes are what a commit will
actually contain, so they take priority. When nothing is staged the collector falls
back to the working tree, so a caller still has something to summarize before the
user has staged anything.
The fallback reads
git status --short, not a diff. Untracked files appear in nodiff, so a diff-only fallback would silently omit brand-new files — usually the most
interesting thing in the change.
No
HEADin the fallback diff.git diffis used rather thangit diff HEAD.The index is known to be empty on that path so the two are equivalent, but
HEADdoesnot resolve in a repository without an initial commit, where it fails outright. This
is covered by a regression test.
Reuses the existing
checkGitInstalled,checkGitRepo, andtruncateOutputhelpersrather than adding new ones.
maxBufferis raised past Node's 1 MBexecdefault,which real diffs routinely exceed.
Scope note: this deliberately shells out to
git diffand passes the output through.It does not parse rename/copy status codes or summarize binary files. #298 takes a
much more thorough approach to the same problem — see "Relationship to #298-#301" below.
Test Procedure
src/utils/__tests__/git.spec.tscovers: staged path, working-tree fallback,untracked-only repository with no initial commit, clean tree returning
null, git notinstalled, and not-a-repository.
There is also a test asserting the diff argument string contains no shell
metacharacters. That guards a real bug found during development: an earlier revision
used
:(exclude)pathspecs to skip lockfiles, which unit tests happily passed becausethey mock
exec— but real git rejected the command, sinceexecruns throughcmd.exeon Windows and does not strip the single quotes those pathspecs require. Themocked tests cannot validate git syntax, so that class of bug needs the guard.
Verified against real repositories, not just mocks:
git init'd repo with no commits → returns context instead of throwing.Local checks:
pnpm lint,pnpm check-types(11/11 packages), fullsrcsuite(7379 passed, 37 skipped),

Documentation Updates
Nothing user-facing lands until stack 3.
Additional Notes
Review order: 1 → #1228 → #1229 → #1230. Each targets
mainbecause GitHub cannotbase a cross-fork PR on another fork's branch, so later PRs show cumulative diffs until
their parents merge. The Commits tab shows only that PR's own commit — that is the
reviewable unit.
Relationship to #298-#301. @Mirrowel has an open stack covering this same feature,
untouched since 2026-06-30. I built this independently before finding it. Where they
overlap, that stack is more thorough: #298 is ~996 lines handling rename/copy status
codes,
-znull-delimited parsing, synthetic diffs for untracked files, and binary-filesummarization. This is ~190 lines and does none of that.
The tradeoff is size against completeness. If #298 is revived I would rather see that
land, and I am happy to close this. If it stays stale, this is ready now.
