+**Write multi-line or special-char bodies to a file, not inline `-m`.** The shell parses a double-quoted `-m "..."` before git sees it: an *unescaped* `"` in the body closes the string early, after which a bare `&` backgrounds the fragment and the message silently truncates (a tell-tale `... command not found` may scroll past). Even with the quotes balanced, the shell still expands `$var`, `` `cmd` ``/`$(...)`, and backslashes inside double quotes, so a body containing those is altered. A file or a *single-quoted* heredoc (`<<'EOF'`) sidesteps all of it — the text is passed verbatim:
+
+```bash
+git commit -S --signoff -F - <<'EOF'
+fix: prevent race condition in order processing
+
+Body may contain "quotes", & ampersands, `backticks` — all literal.

+### `--force-with-lease` Rejected with "stale info"
+
+On PRs that bots touch (auto-approve, Renovate/Dependabot, a CI step that pushes), `git push --force-with-lease` can be rejected with `stale info` even when your local work is correct: a bot updated the remote branch since your last fetch, so the lease's expected ref (your `origin/<branch>` tracking ref) no longer matches and the push aborts. This is the safety check working — don't escalate to plain `--force`.
+
+Fetch, see what arrived, then push — the lease now matches the ref you just fetched:
+
+```bash
+BR=feature/my-feature
+git fetch origin "$BR"
+git log HEAD..origin/"$BR"               # what the bot pushed — safe to discard?
+git push --force-with-lease origin "$BR" # lease compares against the fetched tracking ref
+```
+
+If a bot keeps pushing inside the fetch→push window so the plain lease never matches, pin it to the head you just inspected. This pins, not skips, the check — it accepts exactly that SHA, so only run it right after the `git log` above confirms those commits are safe to discard:
+
+```bash
+git push --force-with-lease="$BR:$(git rev-parse origin/"$BR")" origin "$BR"
+```
+
