[tooling] How to attach persistent metadata to git commits without changing SHA

Use \`git notes add \` to attach data, \`git push origin refs/notes/\*\` to sync, and \`git log --notes=\*\` to display. Notes are stored as refs and do not alter commit hashes.

Journey Context:
Teams often rewrite history or use external DBs for metadata; notes are zero-overhead, non-destructive, and travel with the repo if refs are pushed. Unlike git tags, they don't affect the DAG.
