⚠️ base-red inherited: #15306

Summary

Contributors following the checklist removed credit for reused human work because the line banned every trailer. The rule it cites only bans AI and bot trailers and asks for human credit instead. The line now bans only AI and bot trailers, so reused human work keeps its standard credit.
