Replace the guidance to credit LLM usage via 'Co-authored-by:' with the Linux kernel convention. Co-Authored-By and Co-Developed-By are reserved for human authors (who must also sign off); AI/LLM assistance is disclosed with an Assisted-By: trailer instead. Apply the new policy to this commit as a worked example.

Workflow
The trx-rs project is organized into three main components:
- trx-core: core library providing the basic functionalities,
- trx-server: server component that hooks up the transceiver,
- trx-client: client component that connects with the trx-server and exposes selected frontends.
When contributing to the project, please follow these guidelines:
- Fork the repository and create a new branch for your changes.
- Make sure your code follows the project's coding style and conventions.
- Write clear and concise commit messages.
- Submit a pull request with a detailed description of your changes.
- Ensure that your changes are tested and pass all existing tests.
Commit Guidelines
- Use imperative mood in commit messages.
- Keep commit messages short and descriptive.
- Use a maximum of 80 characters per line.
- Use a blank line between the commit message and the body.
- Sign your commits with
git commit -s. - Disclose AI/LLM assistance with an
Assisted-By:trailer (see below).
Use the format below for commit titles: : e.g.
Use (trx-rs) for repo-wide changes that are not specific to any crate.
Allowed types:
- feat: new feature
- fix: bug fix
- docs: documentation changes
- style: code style changes
- refactor: code refactoring
- test: test changes
- chore: build or maintenance changes
Write isolated commits for each crate.
Attribution trailers
This project follows the Linux kernel convention for crediting work.
The Co-Authored-By: and Co-Developed-By: trailers name people who
authored the change. They are reserved for humans, and every person named
this way must also add their own Signed-off-by: line. Never use these
trailers for tools, assistants, or bots.
When a commit was produced with help from an AI assistant or LLM,
disclose it with an Assisted-By: trailer naming the tool (and model,
where relevant). The human committer remains the author of record and
takes responsibility for the change through Signed-off-by:.
Example:
Assisted-By: Claude Code (claude-opus-4)
Co-Authored-By: Jane Developer <jane@example.com>
Signed-off-by: Your Name <you@example.com>
