+### Subject filtering
+
+Filter commits whose subject (first line) matches a regex — useful for dropping noise like bot commits or direct pushes without an issue reference. The regex is matched against the inner subject of revert commits, so revert tracking still works.

 ### Scan base override
 
 Use `base_ref` to explicitly choose the exclusive lower bound for `sync`'s commit scan. This is useful when the automatically selected release baseline is not the range you want for a custom branching workflow, first-time onboarding, or migration.
