🤖 AI Development Transparency

This project represents a collaboration between human creativity and AI assistance:

• Concept & Direction: Originated by Woo T. Fook (idea, requirements, testing, project vision)
• Implementation: Substantial portions of the codebase developed with GitHub Copilot assistance
• AI Attribution: All AI-generated code sections are clearly marked with timestamps and model identification
• Quality Assurance: Human oversight for architecture decisions, testing, and final validation

The codebase includes comprehensive AI attribution comments throughout core files including the React frontend (App.tsx), Rust backend (main.rs), and testing infrastructure. This represents a modern development approach combining human insight with AI productivity tools.

For transparency about specific AI contributions, developers can review the timestamped "AI Generated: GitHub Copilot" comments throughout the source code.
