+This is a one-person project maintained in spare time. Bug reports and patches are welcome, but there are no guarantees around response time, acceptance, or ongoing support.

+Code was generated by LLMs. If you submit a PR, assume I'll review it the same way — I'll look for whether it works and whether it fits, not whether it's idiomatic or perfectly styled.
