Use of AI for Creating/Maintaining This Library

No portion of this library was "vibe coded".

Early versions of this library were written entirely without the use of AI tools.

Claude/Claude Code and GitHub Co-pilot have been used in a manner similar to pair-programming. This includes:

• improving alignment with "pythonic" best practices
• targeted code reviews
• resolving linter issues
• aiding in debugging and testing
• drafting individual functions/methods that I refine and test
• drafting portions of documentation
• drafting unit tests
