Document AI-assisted development

[unipheas]

Summary

• disclose that BarKeep was built with substantial assistance from OpenAI ChatGPT/Codex and Anthropic Claude
• clarify that the human maintainer reviews, tests, signs, and owns every official release
• explain that BarKeep does not contact an AI service during normal operation
• add AI-assistance guidance to CONTRIBUTING and the pull-request template
• harden release packaging by verifying the signed app after extracting the final ZIP

Verification

• swift test — 24 tests passed
• swift build -c release
• zsh -n scripts/package-release.sh scripts/verify-release-archive.sh
• extracted dist/BarKeep-1.0.13.zip passed strict code-signature verification
• credential-pattern scan found no tokens, private keys, OAuth credentials, or six-digit passwords

Documentation

• README.md: added a prominent development-transparency disclosure and documented release-archive verification
• CONTRIBUTING.md: added expectations for AI-assisted contributions and sensitive-data handling
• .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: added AI-use disclosure and human-review confirmation

AI assistance

OpenAI Codex assisted with the documentation, packaging verification, testing, and pull-request preparation. All changes were reviewed and verified by the maintainer.
