GNU testsuite comparison:

Skip an intermittent issue tests/tail/tail-n0f (fails in this run but passes in the 'main' branch)
Skipping an intermittent issue tests/tail/symlink (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)
Note: The gnu test tests/seq/seq-epipe is now being skipped but was previously passing.
Note: The gnu test tests/tail/pipe-f is now being skipped but was previously passing.

I find the AI policy quite unfortunate given the unclear copyright implications. One can see questionable citations already:

  • /// Mirrors GNU's `force_symlinkat` in `force-link.c`: open the parent
    /// directory once and operate via `*at` syscalls so a concurrent rename
    /// of the parent cannot redirect the operation, and pick the temp name
    /// from `/dev/urandom` so it is unguessable to other users in that
    /// directory.
  • // GNU's template is `CuXXXXXX`: a 2-char prefix plus 6 random chars
    // drawn from a 62-char alphabet. Modulo bias on a 256→62 mapping is
    // ~3% per slot — irrelevant for an 8-char unguessability budget.
    const ALPHABET: &[u8; 62] = b"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
