Between fine tuning, the process of doing local training to emphasize / de-emphasize some weights in the model, and prompt variability, the signal from a patch trailer is diluted. If maintainers care about commit text conciseness for humans and traceability for AI, those competing concerns will conflict above the "---" line in patches.
