Pull request overview
This PR adds a new GitHub Actions workflow to enforce the documented commit message convention that every commit should reference a GitHub issue. The workflow runs on pull requests and validates that each commit message contains an issue reference or matches an exception pattern.
Changes:
- Added a new CI workflow that checks all commits in a PR for GitHub issue references
- Implemented exception patterns for special commit types (Bump, Merge, Revert, fixup!, squash!, amend!)
- Configured the workflow to fail PRs with commits missing issue references
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

This makes it a CI requirement to reference in issue number in each commit message (in the title or body of the message).
