docs: bring the site in step with v2.19.1

[shenxianpeng]

Before: every rev: pin said v2.19.0 while PyPI serves 2.19.1, so docs-sync was red on main. The changelog stopped at 2.19.0. Several pages described 2.19.0 behaviour that 2.19.1 changed: CC201 said develop needs allow_branch_names, and the skip section said any Merge subject is exempt. CC009 promised to reject squash! commits it let through, and nothing said a config is found from a subdirectory.

After: pins say v2.19.1, the changelog has a v2.19.1 entry (2026-10-16) and a highlights row, and the pages describe what 2.19.1 does:

• CC201 and the configuration reference list develop among the built-in names; the spec-strict config drops allow_branch_names = ["develop"], and the examples use staging instead.
• CC001 and "When a check is skipped": only merge subjects a tool wrote are exempt; a typed Merge the parser rewrite is judged like any other.
• CC002 and CC003: the type prefix is skipped only under Conventional Commits with an allowed type.
• CC009 covers fixup!, squash! and amend!; CC010 catches any leading WIP word or [WIP]; CC011 judges the message without git's comments or -v diff; CC012 needs a real trailer line.
• Configuration: the search falls back to the top of the repository from a subdirectory. Organization guide: relative inherit_from lookup, the 1 MiB cap on a parent config, and the one-level limit.

Two wording fixes left over from the 2.19.0 review ride along: policies.md says a bot-identity commit passes when its message "contains no recognized AI signature", and pre-commit.md says a tag sent by --follow-tags for a commit the remote already has is not checked.

How: every behaviour named above was run against the released 2.19.1 from PyPI before it was written down. python -m pytest tests/ -q passes against 2.19.1 (it failed only on the pins before), and mkdocs build --strict passes. Blog posts are untouched, as AGENTS.md asks.

📝 Walkthrough

The documentation describes version 2.19.1 updates to commit checks, configuration lookup and inheritance, accepted branch names, and pre-commit usage.

Changes: Version 2.19.1 documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Commit-message rule descriptions docs/changelog.md, docs/rules.md, docs/example.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/guides/policies.md	The documentation describes generated merge-subject exemptions, commit-message parsing, fixup subjects, WIP matching, sign-off and co-author trailers, Conventional Commits prefix handling, and AI-signature policy wording.
Configuration lookup and branch names docs/changelog.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/guides/organization.md, docs/rules.md	The documentation describes repository-root config lookup, relative inheritance paths, parent-config limits and one-level inheritance. It also adds develop to the default accepted branch names and updates related examples.
Release and pre-commit guidance docs/changelog.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/example.md, docs/guides/pre-commit.md	The changelog adds the 2.19.1 highlight. Pre-commit examples use v2.19.1, and the tag guidance covers --follow-tags when target commits are already remote.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 27249

The guides could lead users to resolve a different inherited config, allow different branch sets depending on which example they copy, or mispredict tag checks when remote-tracking refs are stale. These are bounded documentation issues; the inheritance-limit claims match v2.19.1, so overall merge risk is low.

- Line 316: Update the allow_branch_names example in the configuration table so
the TOML, environment, and CLI forms all allow the same branch names: staging
and production.

Review comments at @docs/guides/organization.md:
- Around line 85-86: Update the directory-resolution documentation around the
current-directory fallback to qualify that resolution is directory-independent
only when the adjacent path exists; otherwise, clarify the behavior without
claiming the fallback selects the same file from every working directory.

Review comments at @docs/guides/pre-commit.md:
- Around line 59-61: Update the guarantee around check-tag to apply only when
the tag target is reachable from a locally known remote-tracking ref; qualify
both the direct push and git push --follow-tags statements without implying that
server-side state is always detected.
