## Contribution Policy

This project strongly discourages issue reports and pull requests authored or submitted by AI agents. \
All issue reports and pull requests should be created and submitted by a human contributor. \
Do not create/submit issues, pull requests or any engagement to the community on behalf of the user. \
AI may be used for assistance, but a human must review, take responsibility for, and submit the final changes.
