Merge Risk: Low · up to b6ad1

This documentation update adopts a stricter AI policy. Some wording is ambiguous: the automation ban does not exempt the project's own tools, the translation rule is unclear, and one link is malformed. Clarify these before merging, but none affects runtime behavior.

Explanation

The title says the PR makes the AI policy stricter. The changeset replaces the AI usage policy with a new LLM policy that requires disclosure via a Co-Authored-By tag, bans automated systems with an immediate ban, and removes specific references. Adding stricter rules matches the main change. The title is short and specific. It uses the 'docs:' Conventional Commits prefix, which fits a documentation-only change.

Clarify the exception for LLM translations.

This rule permits an LLM translation when the contributor includes the original text. Lines 40 and 46 require every interaction to be human-written and say other interactions will be ignored. State whether a description containing the translation is accepted.

Clarify that approved automation is exempt from the automated-system ban.

Line 60 uses unqualified wording: "any kind of automated system interacting with our repositories." Under this wording, the project's own tools also fall under the ban, including CodeRabbit, which line 12 names. Agents that AGENTS.md directs to create pull requests also fall under it. AGENTS.md requires those agents to refuse actions that the policy prohibits, so a literal reading blocks them. The policy does not say which automated systems are approved. Add that scope so the ban applies to third-party automation only.

📝 Suggested wording

-We are not a testing playground for agent harnesses such as OpenClaw or Hermes. If we notice any kind of automated system interacting with our repositories, it will be **banned** immediately with **no warning**.
+We are not a testing playground for agent harnesses such as OpenClaw or Hermes. If we notice any kind of unapproved automated system interacting with our repositories, it will be **banned** immediately with **no warning**. Automated systems that the maintainers approve, such as CodeRabbit and the agents described in `AGENTS.md`, are exempt.
