Commit message analysis request

CRITICAL: You MUST post a comment analyzing the commit messages in this PR.
Analyze all commits in this pull request (up to 20 commits, or all if fewer than 20).

Instructions

Please analyze all commit messages in this PR for:

1. Format compliance - Check if commit messages follow common patterns (in order of preference):

   • Component prefix pattern (~80%): component: description or component1, component2: description
     Example: network: Add support for SR-IOV interfaces
   • Capitalized component prefix (~10%): Component: Description
     Example: Network: Add support for SR-IOV interfaces
   • Conventional commits (~5%): type(scope): description or type: description
     Example: feat(network): Add support for SR-IOV interfaces
   • No prefix (~5%): Acceptable but less common - Direct description starting with capital letter
     Example: Add support for SR-IOV interfaces

2. Common characteristics:

   • Imperative mood (Add, Fix, Refactor, Remove, Update, Improve, Implement, Change, Move, Rename, Clean, Simplify, Optimize, Enable, Disable, Support, Handle, Create, Delete, Modify)
   • First word capitalized (required)
   • First line length: max 72 characters (recommended: ≤50 characters)
   • Descriptive and clear (minimum 10 characters, avoid generic words like "stuff", "things", "fix", "update", "change", "modify")
   • Signed-off-by line present (DCO compliance)

3. Alignment Validation - CRITICAL: You MUST examine the actual code changes (diff) for each commit and verify the commit message accurately describes what was changed:

   For each commit, you MUST:

   • Examine the actual file changes (added lines, removed lines, modified lines)
   • Identify what was ACTUALLY changed:
     • Functions: Were functions added, removed, or modified?
     • Variables: Were variables added, removed, or renamed?
     • Comments: Were comments added, removed, or modified?
     • Imports: Were imports added or removed?
     • Configuration: Were config files or settings changed?
     • Tests: Were tests added, removed, or modified?
     • Documentation: Was documentation added or modified?
   • Compare what the commit message CLAIMS vs what was ACTUALLY changed
   • Flag commits where the message is misleading, incorrect, or doesn't match reality

   Examples of MISMATCHES to flag:

   • Commit says "Added new function" but only comments were added
   • Commit says "Fixed bug in X" but X wasn't modified, only unrelated code was changed
   • Commit says "Refactored Y" but Y wasn't touched, only imports were reorganized
   • Commit says "Removed deprecated code" but nothing was removed, only comments updated
   • Commit says "Updated tests" but test files weren't modified
   • Commit message describes changes to FileA but only FileB was modified

   What constitutes GOOD alignment:

   • Commit message accurately describes the primary changes made
   • File names mentioned in commit message match files that were actually changed
   • Action verbs (Add, Fix, Remove, etc.) match what was actually done
   • If commit mentions specific functionality, that functionality was actually modified

Expected Output Format

IMPORTANT: Wrap your entire response in a collapsible section using:

<details>
<summary>Commit Message Analysis</summary>

[Your analysis here]

</details>

Please post a regular PR comment (not an inline review comment) with ONLY the following sections:

• Format Issues: ONLY list commits that DON'T follow the patterns above. If all commits follow the patterns, skip this section entirely.
• Alignment Issues: CRITICAL - For each commit with alignment problems, you MUST:
  • List the commit hash and message
  • Explain what the commit message CLAIMS was changed
  • Explain what was ACTUALLY changed (based on the diff)
  • Clearly state the mismatch
  • Example format:

    Commit abc1234: "Added new function in kubevirt.go"
    - Claims: Added a new function
    - Reality: Only added a comment, no function was added
    - Mismatch: Commit message is misleading
    

  If all commits have good alignment, write a brief positive summary like "All commits have excellent alignment between message and code changes" and skip detailed analysis.
• Recommendations: ONLY provide short examples of improved commit messages for commits with issues.
  CRITICAL: Do NOT include:
  • Headers like "To fix these issues:" or "How to fix:" or "To fix:"
  • Git commands (git rebase, git commit --amend, git rebase --continue, etc.)
  • Instructions on how to fix the issues
  • Any sections explaining how to fix things
  • Code blocks with git commands
    Just provide the improved commit message examples directly. If there are no issues, skip this section entirely.

Important Notes

• Analyze ALL commits in the PR (up to 20 commits)
• For Alignment Validation: You MUST examine the actual code diff for each commit - do not rely solely on commit messages
• Look at what files were changed, what lines were added/removed/modified
• Compare the commit message claims against the actual diff/changes
• ONLY report issues - do not list commits that are compliant
• If a section has no issues, either skip it entirely or provide a brief positive summary (one sentence max)
• Keep responses concise - focus only on what needs to be fixed
• DO NOT include any "how to fix" sections, git commands, or instructions on fixing issues
• DO NOT add sections like "To fix these issues:" with git rebase/commit commands
• Wrap your entire response in a collapsible details section (using HTML
  Details

  tags) to save PR space
• Post your analysis as a regular comment and stop (no confirmation messages needed)
• Be constructive and helpful

Commit Message Analysis

Format Issues

All commits lack the recommended component prefix pattern:

• 0895ce3: "Add test id to reference_policy.go" - Missing component prefix (e.g., tests: or instancetype:)
• 1bca488: "Change cmd variable to command" - Missing component prefix (e.g., tests: or libinfra:)
• e8ee821: "Added a new function in kubevirt.go" - Missing component prefix (e.g., tests: or libkubevirt:), also uses past tense instead of imperative mood

Additionally, none of the commits include a Signed-off-by line for DCO compliance.

Alignment Issues

Commit e8ee821: "Added a new function in kubevirt.go"

• Claims: Added a new function to kubevirt.go
• Reality: Only added a comment (# to be deprecated) above the existing GetKvList function. No new function was added.
• Mismatch: The commit message is misleading - it claims a function was added when only a comment was added to an existing function.

Recommendations

Improved commit messages:

1. tests: Add test id to reference_policy
2. tests: Rename cmd variable to command in metrics
3. tests: Add deprecation comment to GetKvList function
