Refs commit-check/commit-check#651

author_email_pattern can already reject an address, not only require one, with a negative lookahead. The docs only showed the "require a company domain" form, so this adds the reject form, using GitHub's no-reply addresses as the example (the case raised in #651).

Before

CC102 and the policies guide show one example:

author_email_pattern = "^.+@example\\.com$"

Nothing says how to refuse a specific address pattern.

After

Both pages also show:

[commit]
author_email_pattern = '(?i)^(?!.*@users\.noreply\.github\.com$).+@.+$'

Checked against commit-check 2.19.4 with commit-check -e --rev <sha>:

Author email Result
jane.doe@users.noreply.github.com CC102 fails
12345+jane@users.noreply.github.com CC102 fails
jane@USERS.NOREPLY.GITHUB.COM CC102 fails ((?i))
jane@FreeBSD.org passes

python -m pytest tests/ -q: 18 passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added examples showing how to reject GitHub no-reply email addresses with case-insensitive pattern matching.
    • Updated the CC102 author-email guidance with a negative-lookahead pattern and configuration example.

Add a negative-lookahead author_email_pattern example to CC102 and the

Walkthrough

The policy guide and CC102 documentation add author_email_pattern examples that reject GitHub no-reply addresses.

Changes: Author email guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Author email pattern examples
docs/guides/policies.md, docs/rules.md
The guide and CC102 documentation provide TOML examples that reject addresses ending in @users.noreply.github.com.

The examples cover GitHub’s documented no-reply formats, but the CC102 instructions should clarify that the author-email check must be enabled. This is a bounded documentation gap rather than a runtime regression.

- Around line 784-787: Update the `author_email_pattern` example in the
surrounding documentation to state that CC102 runs only when `-e` or
`--author-email` is supplied, and that the pattern has no effect without the
flag.
