While experimenting with these tags I had done a patches with: AI-used-for: created qtest boilerplate based on bug report AI-used-for: importing and validating test case AI-used-for: initial prototype changes AI-used-for: initial draft of test AI-used-for: fetch issue, apply proposed patch, verify build and qtests Of the last one I expect "fetch issue, apply proposed patch, verify build" is superfluous as its really just automation but the converting a bug test case into a proper qtest case is worth flagging as it is a transformation worth getting called out?
