Description

commitlint (config-conventional) treats a commit-body line that mentions an issue (#1234) as the start of the footer. The repo's required Assay-Ask: trailer that follows is then checked against footer-max-line-length (100) and fails, so a commit like "merge main into the branch, picks up #4835" fails commitlint even though its subject and type are fine. body-max-line-length is already disabled; this disables the footer limit the same way.

Because the commitlint job checks out the PR merged with main, this also clears the failure on open PRs on their next run.

Type of Change

• CI / build config

Changes Made

• .commitlintrc.json: "footer-max-line-length": [0].

Testing

Ran @commitlint/cli@19 with @commitlint/config-conventional@19 on a message with an issue reference in the body and a 150-character Assay-Ask: trailer:

main's config:
✖   footer's lines must not be longer than 100 characters [footer-max-line-length]
✖   found 1 problems, 0 warnings
exit=1

this branch:
exit=0

Real Behavior Proof

• Environment: macOS, Node 26, @commitlint/cli@19.
• Steps: the command above, against both config files.
• Observed: the old config rejects the message; the new config accepts it. The type, subject and other rules are unchanged.
