docs: the disclose policy, and what else 2.18.0 changes - #39
Conversation
Three rules landed upstream with nowhere to point: the tool prints Docs: https://commit-check.com/rules/#cc014 and the anchor did not exist. - rules.md gains ai-disclosure (CC014), ai-co-author (CC015) and ai-signoff (CC016), each with the policy that asks for it — the kernel, Fedora and FluxCD for Assisted-by, the ASF for Generated-by, pip and Requests for no AI co-author, the DCO for the sign-off. CC013 is rewritten: it now catches the disclosure trailers too, and its error text changed. - The policy guide gains "Asking for disclosure instead": the three conditions, the correction a failure carries, choosing the trailers and the value format, and warn = ["ai_disclosure"] for projects that appreciate disclosure without demanding it. Its forbid sample was a stale transcript and is re-run. - configuration.md documents ai_disclosure_trailers and ai_disclosure_pattern in all three forms. - troubleshoot.md gains an exit-codes section. Exit code 2 ships in this release and the site had nowhere that said what it means. - The changelog covers the whole release, not just the AI work: the measurements in a failure, hyperlinked spec names, anchored branch names, the narrowed CC001 exemption, exit code 2, and inherit_from failures on stderr. Every transcript on these pages was produced by running the command against the merged code. The install pins say v2.18.0, which is not published yet, so test_pinned_revisions_match_the_released_version is red until it is.

<search_synthesis>
As of September 12, 2026, version 2.18.0 of the commit-check tool has not been publicly released. The most recent version available on the Python Package Index (PyPI) and the official project repository is v2.17.0 [1]. While other popular developer tools, such as pre-commit [2] and GoReleaser [3], have previously issued versions labeled v2.18.0, the commit-check project maintains its own independent release cycle [4][5]. You can monitor the official commit-check GitHub releases page [4] or the project's official changelog [5] for updates regarding future releases.

Hold v2.18.0 documentation until the release is published.
v2.18.0 is listed as the latest release, and the policy guide documents "disclose", but PyPI lists 2.17.0 as current while both PyPI 2.18.0 and the GitHub release tag return 404. Keep these references out of the current-version documentation until the dated release is published.

Publish v2.18.0 before merging these four pre-commit examples.
pre-commit resolves each rev as a repository revision or tag. The v2.18.0 tag is absent, so all four examples fail during hook-repository checkout. The latest published release is v2.17.0; the repository permits unreleased pins only when the pull request merges after publication.

Document the complete default for ai_disclosure_trailers.
The configuration reference defines the default as ["Assisted-by", "Generated-by"], but the environment-variable table lists only ["Assisted-by"]. Update the row so all three forms show the complete default:
-| `ai_disclosure_trailers = ["Assisted-by"]` | `CCHK_AI_DISCLOSURE_TRAILERS=Assisted-by` | `--ai-disclosure-trailers=Assisted-by` |
+| `ai_disclosure_trailers = ["Assisted-by", "Generated-by"]` | `CCHK_AI_DISCLOSURE_TRAILERS=Assisted-by,Generated-by` | `--ai-disclosure-trailers=Assisted-by,Generated-by` |📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Align CC014 with ai_disclosure_trailers.
A disclosure using a trailer listed in ai_disclosure_trailers counts when its value is non-empty and matches ai_disclosure_pattern. This includes Co-authored-by when configured; Signed-off-by remains refused. Update this categorical wording:
-A vendor's co-author line, an AI sign-off, a `🤖 Generated with` mark, or a disclosure written with some other trailer all count as signs; none of them counts as the disclosure.
