I don’t follow the 50 character rule, but to answer your first question: imo, no, don’t mention where you fixed the bug. This is a commit message that is explicitly tied to the place where you fixed the bug. You can go into more detail in the PR if you need to.

“PR” lol. I’m the sole developer.

Jokes aside. I find it easier to have all the information in a commit message, so I can browse it in the git log without having to find the relevant PR(s) that finally merged it.
