I just had a cursory look at the patch you sent, and that seems to have been the case as well. In my personal opinion, as I don't speak for the Bash project, if you are indeed making use of an LLM to generate the code then you should disclose it. And to be clear, I'm not suggesting that the changes are not to be considered because of that reason. I have nothing to say about that. But I think it would be helpful for other contributors to know, if it is indeed the case. Regards, Eduardo
