Code contributions
Using AI tools to help write your PR is acceptable, but as the author, you are responsible for understanding every change. If you used AI tools in preparing your PR, you must disclose this in the description of your PR.
Large AI generated PRs and AI generated commit messages are not allowed.
Do not leave the first review of AI generated changes to the reviewers.
AI-written text
When responding to review comments, you must do so without relying on AI tools.
