NOTICE — Development methodology and authorship
This Software was developed under direct human creative direction with
the assistance of AI tooling (Claude, by Anthropic). AI assistance
was used analogously to an IDE, compiler, or code-completion engine:
a tool operating under continuous human supervision and review.
The Software's design, architecture, system specifications, naming,
module organisation, interface contracts, integration strategy, and
verification plan are the work of the copyright holder. AI-generated
fragments were directed, selected, audited, refined, and integrated
by the human author, who exercised final judgment on every substantive
design and correctness decision.
Per Anthropic's published Terms of Service, output ownership is
assigned to the user; the AI provider claims no rights in the
resulting code. Per United States Copyright Office guidance (August
2023, "Copyright Registration Guidance: Works Containing Material
Generated by Artificial Intelligence"), purely machine-generated
output is not eligible for copyright, while the selection,
arrangement, and creative human direction supplied by a human author
are. Those human-authored contributions — architectural decisions,
problem framing, design rationale, integration, and verification —
are the load-bearing creative contributions to this Software, and the
accompanying LICENSE asserts proprietary rights on the resulting
human-directed creative whole.
"Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>"
footers in commit messages document the development methodology in
the customary tooling-honesty convention. They are not a claim of
legal authorship by the AI and effect no transfer of rights to any
third party.
Trade-secret protection, contract law, and access controls applying
to this repository remain in force independent of the copyright
analysis above.
