 **Merge checklist:**
 Check off if complete _or_ not applicable:
 
-- [ ] Version bumped
+- [ ] Commit messages (and PR title, if squash merging) use the correct
+      [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) type — they determine the
+      release: `fix:` → patch, `feat:` → minor, `!` / `BREAKING CHANGE:` → major
 - [ ] Documentation updated (not only docstrings)
 - [ ] Fixup commits are squashed away
 - [ ] Unit tests added/updated
