Yes, it should remain part of the commit, and the work plan too, including judgements/reviews done with other agents. The chat log encodes user intent in raw form, which justifies tasks which in turn justify the code and its tests. Bottom up we say the tests satisfy the code, which satisfies the plan and finally the user intent. You can do the "satisfied/justified" game across the stack.

I only log my own user messages not AI responses in a chat_log.md file, which is created by user message hook in the repo.
