Backwards Incompatible Changes

Cherry-pick now preserves original commit author: The dolt cherry-pick command now correctly preserves the author of the original commit, including during rebase operations. Previously, the cherry-pick operation would change the author to the user performing the cherry-pick. Note: This change may affect existing workflows that depend on the previous behavior where cherry-pick would update the author.

Per Dolt’s versioning policy, this is a minor version bump because these changes may impact existing applications. Please reach out to us on GitHub or Discord if you have questions or need help with any of these changes.

• 9632: [#9582] - Fix cherry-pick not preserving original commit author Fixes [#9582] Cherry-pick was using current user as author instead of preserving the original commit's author like Git does. Modified CreateCommitStagedPropsFromCherryPickOptions to extract and use original commit metadata (name/email) rather than current session user. Updated cherryPick function signature to return original commit object and fixed all callers including rebase integration. Made resolveRefSpec public as ResolveRefSpec for reuse.
• 9629: A more comprehensive default AGENT.md This change implements a much more comprehensive AGENT.md that covers a number of topics that may not be obvious or known to an agent using Dolt.
