+## Automated Tools
+
+The use of AI tooling for assisted development work is accepted and encouraged
+in this repository, but due to the volume of sumissions we ask that you observe

+  Items reviewed in this way must include a statement like "generated by AI
+  tools, and reviewed by <person>"
+- Please ensure that your submissions are actually improvements. While we are
+  grateful for any proposed fixes, even if they are very small, behavior that
