Server-Side
Because Authorship Logs are linked to commit hashes, server-side operations that create new commits will not have logs attached. You'll have to manually run git-ai squash-authorship after the squash or merge operation to update the attribution.
We'll be publishing CI scripts and Apps to assist with this soon.
