-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-#
-# .githooks/pre-commit
-#
-# Runs clang-format and clang-tidy against staged C/C++ files before each
-# commit — no Python, no pre-commit framework, just bash and (optionally)
-# the clang tools themselves.
-#
-# Neither tool is required to have this hook installed: if a binary isn't
-# on PATH, this prints a warning and skips that check instead of blocking
-# the commit. Only *actual formatting/lint issues* from a tool that IS
-# installed will block a commit.
-#
-# Platforms:
-#   - Linux / macOS: runs under the system bash (or Homebrew bash on macOS)
-#     with no extra setup.
-#   - Windows: runs automatically through Git for Windows' bundled Git Bash —
-#     git.exe recognizes the "#!/usr/bin/env bash" line above and executes
-#     hooks through it directly, so no WSL, Cygwin, or separate bash install
-#     is needed. Everything this script uses (mktemp, diff, grep, printf,
-#     command -v) ships with Git for Windows out of the box.
-#
-# One-time setup per clone (same command on every OS):
-#   chmod +x .githooks/pre-commit   (no-op on Windows, harmless either way)
-#   git config core.hooksPath .githooks
-
-set -uo pipefail
-
-# Colors only when writing to an interactive terminal — avoids raw escape
-# codes in CI logs, redirected output, or terminals that don't support ANSI.
