I do the opposite. I force LLM to "do jj new -m <desc>" after every logical batch of edits.

No signing is easy - make signing interactive and requiring a password.

Anyway, telling agent to NOT do something is always worse than telling agent to do something.

That's why you should say something like "Use constants instead of magic strings/numbers" rather than "Do not use magic strings/numbers".

Also whatever review its doing against the list of checks - must be a fresh context.
