    AI agents MUST NOT add Signed-off-by tags. Only humans can legally certify the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). The human submitter is responsible for:

    • Reviewing all AI-generated code
    • Ensuring compliance with licensing requirements
    • Adding their own Signed-off-by tag to certify the DCO
    • Taking full responsibility for the contribution

    That’s fair. Nobody has to know you wrote it with a not, that’s impossible to detect, but you have to own it and be ready for the discussions that follow.

        Well, no. But then it gets rejected, and further PRs that also fail the check will likely get you banned from contributing.

        The human is responsible.
        If the code or PR fails, the human has to own that.
