You got the gist right.

Indeed. The `final_fixup` name tries to convey "need to finalize the final fixup", as in: show the commit message in an editor if any squash! commits were included, and otherwise simply clean the commit message of all those commented-out lines.
So that's very different from "is the previously-run todo command a final fixup in a fixup/squash chain?"
