I was looking for an analogy and this is a good one.
The noise to signal ratio seems so bad. You’d have to sift through every little “thought”. If I could record my thought stream would I add it to the commit? Hell no.
Now, a summary of the reasoning, assumptions made and what alternatives were considered? Sure, that makes for a great message.
And not all google searches you do while working on that commit may even be related to that commit. It may be entirely unrelated, or sensitive information that should not be made public.
If you archive the session, you automatically archive all Google search history (queries and outputs) that the AI did, and it's usually relevant to the project.
Perfect analogy. Nobody cares how many times you googled "how to center a div" before finally writing proper CSS. Same goes for agents: I only care about the final architectural state and performance, not how the model brain-farted over trivial boilerplate because of a scuffed system prompt

Heck no. I don't even read the vast majority of the cack that my AI spits out for my own prompts. Why would I inflict that on anyone else?
