# Provenance and disclosure

## Original-code policy

Repository code is written for this project. Third-party algorithm literature is cited in [references.md](references.md); citations explain KLT and Shi-Tomasi concepts and do not grant permission to copy another implementation. Contributions must preserve that rule: do not paste code from packages, repositories, papers, or generated answers without recording its license-compatible source and obtaining maintainer approval.

## Adjacent MoonCakes projects

The design research recorded on 2026-07-23 identified nearby MoonCakes projects including `PingGuoMiaoMiao/MoonVision`, `megemini/millow`, and `python123-ops/moon-cv-geometry`. They are adjacent image-processing or geometry work, not this project's sequence-aware sparse KLT tracker with feature lifecycle, forward-backward validation, and deterministic trajectory export. This repository does not vendor or copy their code.

## AI-tool disclosure

AI-assisted tooling was used during planning, implementation, test authoring, and documentation. Humans remain responsible for reviewing the checked-in source, tests, citations, license, and release decisions. The authoritative project record is the git history and the files in this repository; generated interfaces are reviewed through the CI diff gate.
