Codex current-head review at 2ad4eaa: no findings. The change is policy/documentation only; the guidance consistently favors upstream interfaces, explicit persistence, Tor/amnesia preservation, capability detection, and supported-Tails integration testing.
CipherStick tracks fast-moving upstreams with a small maintainer base, so maintenance cost has to be a design constraint. Write down the low-effort maintainability and PELD-inspired design rules from the Tails contributor and design documents, and point agents at them. Keep the policy in the developer notes, which CONTRIBUTING.md already requires contributors to read.

AI-assisted current-head docs review: ACK 2b6980f. AGENTS.md and developer notes consistently require upstream-first integration, Tails/PELD constraints, capability detection and actionable boundary errors. No code changes; no additional findings.

This also needs:
https://www2.tails.net/contribute/merge_policy/ (ours should be similar, within reason)
https://www2.tails.net/contribute/how/documentation/style_guide/ (we should follow their style guide so Bails feels at place in Tails)
Document the review and merge expectations requested by the maintainer, drawing on the Tails contributor workflow. Rewrite the developer notes as a practical, approachable guide with clear headings, examples, and Tails documentation conventions. Update agent guidance to point to the revised policies.

Recreate the commit with the responsible human as author
Fresh evidence relative to the prior thread is that git cat-file -p f6d5a3f7fc531e697552443ed7b63a44b7f3bba6 identifies Codex <codex@openai.com> as both author and committer, while docs/AI_POLICY.md explicitly prohibits agents from being authors or co-authors and warns that violating PRs may be closed; this also contradicts the commit message's claim that the commit was rebuilt under the responsible human. Recreate this commit with that human's authorship before merging.
AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L3-L4
