Principle developer tip: rewrite history to make yourself seem smarter.
Soft reset the whole branch and commit a series of atomic and semantic patches (eg separating code, test, and refactor changes) that tell a clean narrative of the changeset to reviewers, future blamers.

And then my team squashes those commits 😩
Yeah it sucks. If the commits are really helpful, you can just paste the git log into the PR/MR/CR body after it’s been merged
Do you put effort into your commit messages before the rewrite, or just write something quick for yourself and then put in the effort later?
Depends, but usually I will put in the effort up front and maybe tweak them in an in[eractive rebase, or just manually copy+paste.
If they’re worth saving. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings though
