On GitHub, the quickest way to get there is the
[Commit Check App](https://github.com/apps/commit-check): install it on a
repository or an organization, commit a `cchk.toml` that sets
`ai_attribution`, and every push and pull request gets a **Commit Check**

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.

Update the Commit Check coverage claim near the GitHub App installation
description in both documents to state that results apply only to pushes and
pull requests in repositories covered by the App installation, replacing the
unconditional “every” wording.
