commit lint issuePrefixes - scope could not be optional

I am trying to use issue prefix to have my commit format as mentioned below

JIRA-ID: type(scope): Subject scope should be optional. which means following are valid message

• AAAA-12: fix(test): fixed the failing test

• AAAA-12: fix: fixed the failing test

Following is how my commitlint.config.js looks like

module.exports = {
    extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional'],
    parserPreset: {
           parserOpts: {
              headerPattern: /^[A-Z]{1,4}-[0-9]{1,4}:\s(\w*)\((\w*)\):\s(.*)$/,
              headerCorrespondence: ["type", "scope", "subject"],
              issuePrefixes: ["^[A-Z]{1,4}-[0-9]{1,4}"],
              referenceActions: ["xxx-"] // (!!)
            }
      },
 rules: {
        'references-empty': [2, 'never'],
       'scope-empty': [1, 'never'],
      ...
     ... 
}
}

Expected Behavior

following message should be valid.

• AAAA-12: fix(test): fixed the failing test

• AAAA-12: fix: fixed the failing test

Need to understand how to extend the current config to add one more rule for prefix.

Current Behavior

following message appears to be invalid. I can’t make scope optional

• AAAA-12: fix: fixed the failing test

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Change the parserPreset as mentioned above with rules mentioned.

commitlint.config.js

```js ```

I think this is missing a ? in the headerPattern. Can you please try the below pattern and let me know how it goes

headerPattern: /^[A-Z]{1,4}-[0-9]{1,4}:\s(\w*)(?:\((.*)\))?: (.*)$/,

+headerPattern: /^[A-Z]{1,4}-[0-9]{1,4}:\s(\w*)(?:\((.*)\))?: (.*)$/,
-headerPattern: /^[A-Z]{1,4}-[0-9]{1,4}:\s(\w*)\((\w*)\):\s(.*)$/,

@AdeAttwood Thanks for your suggestion! This pattern has worked for me with the following options:

parserOpts: {
  headerPattern: /^[A-Z]{1,4}-[0-9]{1,4}:\s(\w*)(?:\((.*)\))?: (.*)$/,
  headerCorrespondence: ['type', 'scope', 'subject'],
  issuePrefixes: ['^XXXX-[0-9]{1,4}']
}

Using the following commit message:

• XXXX-0000: feat: subject
• XXXX-0000: feat(scope): subject

Also the following commit messages will fail as expected with reasonable error logs:

• XX-0000: test: subject
• XXXX-AA: feat: subject

I didn’t need to use referenceActions, i think it’s not necessary since issuePrefixes with the above settings already works like expected. Or do you @AdeAttwood know what referenceActions would achieve in this setting?
