The team argues that large patches once implied substantial effort and good faith, but AI tools have broken that assumption, making it impossible to reliably detect malicious or insecure code hidden in AI-generated submissions. Development is moving fully in-house as the project approaches its first alpha release. The project remains open-source, and community members can still contribute via bug reports. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
