+To maintain scientific rigor and reproducibility, no generative AI-produced code 
+is permitted within this repository. All code contributions must be manually authored 
+or closely supervised to ensure our standards. Generative AI can be used, however, for 
+documentation, issues, and PR descriptions (i.e ``git`` and GitHub workflow).
