Pull request overview
This PR extends the repository’s Copilot instructions with explicit commit-message attribution requirements for AI-assisted work. It adds a standard Assisted-by trailer format, clarifies that agents should verify their own identity before composing that trailer, and forbids AI agents from adding Signed-off-by tags. In the broader codebase, this updates contributor/agent workflow documentation rather than runtime behavior.
Changes:
- Add a new AI Attribution section to
.github/copilot-instructions.md - Define the required
Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL...]trailer format - Document that AI agents must not add
