There is a function in Gboard called "auto commit glide input" - Auto commit the current composing text before the next glide input. Could someone please tell me what "auto commit" means in this context?

To "commit" to something is to decisively choose it:
I have committed to buying a new car next spring.
When you are typing on a phone with glide input, you draw a pattern in the letters, the phone guesses which words you might mean and gives you a choice. You then choose the correct word. The phone gives you choices, and you manually commit to one of them.
With "auto-commit" the phone will automatically commit to the most likely word if you then enter a new word, so usually you won't have to manually commit to each word you enter.
