When updating Node versions, a rebuild of some of the underlying libraries is necessary. The error message for this is too verbose and descriptive, a simple prescription to run npm rebuild should be enough.

1. Update Node
2. Run commit-spell

Looks like the spellchecker package from the old Atom repository has finally died as of node@22's v8 changes. I quite liked having my commit messages spellchecked up until now, even if I haven't shown this repo much love over the years. Potentially viable alternative packages include:

• https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool (now THIS looks interesting)
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/simple-spellchecker (hmm)
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/spellcheckme (ripping out the headless browser component)
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/hunspell-spellchecker (it's really old, but still seems functional)
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/typo-js (seems like a preferable alternative to the previous link)

In brand new repos and/or repos with fewer than two commits, commit-spell fails with a git log error. Solution: don't check for previous commits when there are less than two.

1. Have a repo with less than two commits
2. npx commit-spell
3. Error

The node-gyp invocation to build Hunspell should be skipped (or debugged) on Windows. Installing on Windows at the moment results in an unnecessary error.

1. Attempt to install commit-spell on Windows.
2. Error occurs.
