Fix staging to bypass pre-commit blockers | Generated by AI

Home 2026.06

Done. Here’s what was changed and why:

Root cause: gitmessageai() did git add -A which stages ALL files in the repo. When pre-commit runs on git commit, it checks every staged file — if any unrelated file fails a hook, the commit dies.

Fix — 3 files changed:

  1. ww/github/gitmessageai.py — added files parameter. When provided, only stages those files (git add <file1> <file2>...) instead of git add -A. Falls back to add -A when files=None (backward compatible).

  2. ww/note/note_workflow.py — passes [created_path] to gitmessageai(files=...) so only the new note gets staged and committed.

  3. ww/note/note_queue_process.py — same fix: _git_commit_push(files=created_paths) passes the list of created note files through to gitmessageai.

Before: git add -A → pre-commit runs on ALL repo files → fails on unrelated files After: git add notes/2026-06-03-foo.md → pre-commit runs only on the note → clean commit

All other callers of gitmessageai (like ww git commit) still get files=None → git add -A, so no behavior change elsewhere.
