Problem
The git history was authored under a mix of committer identities. Before the repo is made public, the maintainer should review which email addresses appear in the history and decide whether each is appropriate for a public commit log.
Proposed solution
Audit the unique committer / author identities in the history:
```sh
git log --format='%ae' | sort -u
git log --format='%ce' | sort -u
```
Decide per address:
- Keep — public identity intended for the project.
- Replace — if a non-public address appears, configure `user.email` to the desired identity for future commits. Rewriting prior history (`git filter-repo`) is invasive and only worthwhile if a leaked address must be removed; document the decision either way.
Also confirm no committer addresses appear in checked-in files:
```sh
git grep -i 'aurecongroup.com|@gmail.com' -- ':!.lock' ':!.svg'
```
Acceptance criteria
Priority rationale
One-time pre-publish hygiene; cheap to check, hard to retract once public.
