Summary

renovate[bot] is listed under Contributors because two commits on main carry it as author (e432b29, 4f5a2dc). A tool co-author trailer would add another entry the same way.

  • AGENTS.md: the maintainer is the only commit author on main; commits and squash messages carry no tool or bot attribution trailer, and a bot-authored commit is not merged as is.
  • docs/testing.md: a Renovate pull request is a proposal. Its change is recreated in a maintainer-authored commit and pull request, checked there, and Renovate's pull request is closed.

The two existing Renovate commits stay; removing them would rewrite main and detach the release tags and provenance from their commits.

Validation

Documentation only. git diff --check passed.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Two Renovate-authored commits list the bot as a contributor, and a tool
co-author trailer would do the same. Record that commits and squash
messages carry no tool or bot attribution, and that a Renovate pull
request is recreated as a maintainer-authored change instead of merged.
