AI Usage Policy

WARNING

Important Rule: Prevent AI from modifying code unnecessarily.

Allowed:

• ✅ Using AI to understand code
• ✅ Using AI to write documentation
• ✅ Using AI to design tests
• ✅ Using AI to propose solutions in issues

NOT Allowed:

• ❌ AI optimizing code on its own
• ❌ AI refactoring without prior documentation
• ❌ AI making changes to "improve" code

Reason: Undocumented changes can break things we haven't documented yet. Stability is more important than optimization right now.
