# Canonical author identities.
#
# Git records whatever identity a commit was made under. This file maps those to the person who
# holds the work, so `git shortlog`, `git log`, GitHub's contributor views and blame all show one
# canonical identity without rewriting any commit.
#
# `wp1-builder <wp1@example.invalid>` was a delegated build agent working under briand-ai during the
# Superbee rename. The identity was synthetic and its address is in the reserved `.invalid` domain,
# so it is neither a real contributor nor a reachable mailbox. Mapping it here attributes the work
# correctly and keeps a placeholder address out of the contributor list, without changing commit
# SHAs — history rewriting was considered and rejected, since it would invalidate every digest,
# signed receipt, and review approval bound to those commits.

# Mike committed under two addresses and two display names, which splits one person into four
# entries in the contributor list. Both addresses are real, so this is consolidation, not
# correction: `Mike Collier <mikec@holaxis.ai>` is the canonical identity by his choice, and the
# other three forms map onto it. Changing that choice later is a one-line edit to this file —
# nothing here is baked into a commit.
