-# Tools
-
-We permit LLM and AI-assisted tooling, but only on the basis that humans remain
-fully accountable. Contributors must use an `Assisted-by:` tag in the commit
-logs if AI tools generated or significantly assisted with any part of the code
-or documentation. Humans retain full legal and technical responsibility for the

-
-We have received Pull Requests where the submitter clearly did not understand
-the code, could not reason about it, and would be unable to maintain it. This
-is not acceptable.
-
-Any AI-generated code contribution must be compatible with the GPL-2.0-only

-
-While LLMs can be useful for triage, review, clean-up, API refactoring and
-similar tasks, we strongly discourage AI slop. Code review effort is usually the
-project's primary bottleneck, and submitting unreviewed, AI-generated garbage
-wastes reviewer time, slows development, and harms the overall health of the
-project. Likewise, AI-generated commit messages and AI-written text in issues
-and discussions are strongly discouraged and may be treated as sabotage on this

-## Notes on wlroots-0.20
-
-There are some regression warnings worth noting for the switch to wlroots 0.20:
-
-- lxqt-panel auto-hiding does not work with a panel size greater than 40 [#3600]
-  [wlroots-5392]
-- Some Wine game windows disappear after alt-tab. It is not yet clear where the
-  bug is, but the issue manifests itself when running wlroots-0.20 [#3615]

-[0.20.1-commits]
-
-This is a small bug fix release.
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Handle titles with no visible characters, for example the left-to-right mark
-  (‎) @Consolatis [#3630]
-- Protect against SIGABRT when TTY switching in unusual circumstances by
-  ensuring that xdg-shell windows have sensible width and height before trying
-  to set size on configure. This protects against an edge case experienced when
-  switching between labwc on one TTY and Xfce on XOrg on another TTY.
