Commits landing on the default branch (direct push or MR merge) should act on their messages: closing keywords (close/closes/closed, fix/fixes/fixed, resolve/resolves/resolved + #N) close the issue, and bare #N references leave a comment linking the commit, deduplicated per issue+sha. Same-repo only for now; attribution and authorization via the pusher/merger.
close and reference issues from commit messages #31

2026-08-24 23:07Follow-up: added 'gitbayd admin migrate-commit-refs', a one-shot idempotent backfill that converts pre-#31 commit-reference comments (author-attributed, bare sha) into system messages with a linked sha, matching what new references produce. Needed because those comments predate the kind column added here.
