+
+You must disclose any use of AI that went in to preparing your pull request by **both**:
+
+1.  Marking the appropriate box in the pull request template, *and*
+2.  Stating that AI was used in the commit message of *every* commit where AI was used.
+    * Something as simple as "(AI assisted)" at the end of the commit message is sufficient.
+    * Commits from before July 1, 2026 are exempt from this requirement.
+
+**In all cases** you are responsible for the functionality and correctness of any code you submit.
+Whether or not you use AI, you must understand and be prepared to explain any line of code that you change. "Vibe coding" is not welcome here.
+
+**Do not** use AI for image generation.
+
+Code reviews should be based on the quality of the code, not its origin.
