I would agree with this. The point is not the means by which the code /
documentation / review / etc.was developed; it is the question of
responsibility.

And you can't go back and ask Claude or Copilot about its involvement in an
MR or review (probably that session's been wiped), just as you can't ask
someone local to the author- or reviewer-of-record who had given them tips
and hadn't mentioned because it had been considered a minor or indirect
contribution.
