[BUG] conventional_commits is too rigid

[dbasunag]

Bug Description

Currently the assessment is based on presence of .commitlintrc.json or .husky https://github.com/ambient-code/agentready/blob/main/src/agentready/assessors/stub_assessors.py#L238

However, using .pre-commit-config.yaml for this purpose is common in pytest repos. e.g.

  - repo: https://github.com/espressif/conventional-precommit-linter
    rev: v1.11.0
    hooks:
      - id: conventional-precommit-linter
        stages: [ commit-msg ]
        args:
          - --types=build,ci,docs,feat,fix,perf,refactor,chore,test
          - --subject-min-length=10
          - --subject-max-length=80

would enforce some of the rules similar to .commitlintrc.json

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run agentready assess against a repo that enforces conventional commit message rules via .pre-commit-config.yaml and see that conventional_commits check fails:

conventional_commits                ❌ FAIL         not configured (need: configured)

Expected Behavior

This check should be expanded to consider .pre-commit-config.yaml

Actual Behavior

conventional_commits check fails

Environment

• OS: macOS 26.2
• Version: [e.g. 1.0.0]
• Python Version: 3.14
