# AI use disclosure

This project was designed, implemented, tested and documented with an AI coding assistant operating under the participant's authorization. AI assistance includes ecosystem research, algorithm implementation, independent-oracle test authoring, CI and documentation. No generated output is presented as independent human certification.

The participant remains responsible for review and contest use. Evidence claims refer to actual executable tests and public CI, not to the assistant's confidence. No reference implementation source or upstream test fixtures were incorporated. The optional pyds comparison is explicitly attributed in docs/provenance.md.
