"Topic" is usually covered by branch name. Commit message goes with a set of code changes, it feels more logical to me for the message to describe the actual code as it was written (as it might have changed from the idea phase).

In Git, but workflows in Jujutsu aren't necessarily the same as in Git.

Branches for example aren't named in Jujutsu. You can bookmark them which gives them a name in some sense... but that's an optional thing you can do, often as a concession to centralized Git interoperability.

So in this case the parent to your post isn't thinking about it wrong given the context and such workflows have their advantages I've found.
