Before: the homepage's main button opened the Action guide, and the "Where it runs" cards highlighted the Action ("Most teams start here"). The Team plan card linked the App repository, which is private, so visitors got a 404. The AI attribution article and Getting started never pointed GitHub users at the App first.

After: the main button installs the GitHub App, and the App takes the highlighted middle card ("Fastest to set up"); the Action keeps its card next to it. The Team card links the App guide's Plans section and says what that section already says: until the plan launches, the App checks an organization's private repositories at no charge. The article and Getting started point GitHub users at the App before the CLI setup.

The App installs today from https://github.com/apps/commit-check, so the site should send GitHub visitors there first.

Before After
Hero button "Add to GitHub Actions", opens the Action guide "Install the GitHub App", opens github.com/apps/commit-check
Where it runs Action in the highlighted middle card, "Most teams start here" App in the highlighted middle card, "Fastest to set up"; Action unflagged next to it
Team plan card "Until then, the Action covers private repositories for free." Link: the private App repository (404) "Until it launches, the App checks them at no charge." Link: the App guide's Plans section
AI attribution article Goes straight to the pip install try-out A paragraph first: install the App, commit a cchk.toml that sets ai_attribution; free for public repositories and personal accounts
Getting started No mention of the App before the CLI setup A tip, "On GitHub and want nothing to install?", with the install link
docs/example.md "cannot move the terminal's cursor" "cannot send control sequences to the terminal" (CodeRabbit's note on #58: newline and tab still move the cursor)

How: text and link changes only, in docs/index.md, the article, docs/getting-started.md and docs/example.md. mkdocs build --strict and pytest tests/ pass locally, and the built App guide has the #plans anchor the Team card links to.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated setup guidance to recommend the GitHub App for checks on pushes and pull requests without maintaining a workflow file.
    • Clarified differences between GitHub App, CLI, and hook-based setup options.
    • Added guidance on trying disclosure policies locally.
    • Documented that commit-message lines beginning with :: are escaped to prevent control sequences and workflow commands.
    • Updated integration and pricing information, including App coverage for organizational private repositories.

The App installs today from github.com/apps/commit-check, and installs are
what the paid plans wait on, so make it the first thing a visitor can act
on:

- The hero's primary button installs the App; it used to open the Action
  guide.
- In "Where it runs" the App takes the highlighted middle card, flagged
  "Fastest to set up". The Action keeps its card, without the flag.
- The Team plan card linked the App repository, which is private, so
  visitors got a 404. It now links the App guide's Plans section, and
  says what that section already says: until the plan launches, the App
  checks an organization's private repositories at no charge.
- The AI attribution article and Getting started point GitHub users at the
  App before the CLI setup.
Newline and tab still move the cursor, so the note now says a commit
message cannot send control sequences to the terminal, or workflow commands
to a GitHub Actions runner.

Clarify the installation requirement.

The GitHub App must still be installed before it can check repositories. Replace “want nothing to install?” with “want nothing to install locally?” or similar wording so the heading does not contradict the installation link below.

Qualify the coverage claim.

The App guide allows an organization or personal account to select only some repositories. Pushes and pull requests in unselected repositories do not receive a result. Change this to “every push and pull request in the repositories covered by the App installation.” Apply the same correction to the matching sentence in docs/blog/posts/ai-commit-attribution-policy.md.
