+- Dropped support for `commit-signoff`, `merge-base`, and `imperative` inputs which are moved to new config file `commit-check.toml`.
+- Dropped support for `.commit-check.yml` in favor of `commit-check.toml`.
+- Changed default values of `author-name` and `author-email` inputs to `false` to align with commit-check default configuration.

+
+> [!TIP]
