If you want to be respectful, start by reading what has been sent to you; the problems with your submission were well explained, more than once. To reiterate: - Do not send LLM-generated material without marking it as such as described in our developer documentation. - Do not attempt to document systems that you do not, yourself, understand; you have no hope of getting it right, and you will only succeed in wasting the time of the people who have to review your changes. The point of documentation is to be informative, accurate, and useful; simply filling in a bunch of words is not helpful to anybody. Thanks, jon
