Aider v0.47.0: Conventional Commits prompt, customizable --commit-prompt, lint flow changes

Commit message generation now follows Conventional Commits guidelines and can be customized with --commit-prompt, with the strong model as a fallback. Linting behaviour changes: aider asks before fixing lint errors and auto-commits code edits before linting.
