Summary

Adds policy-catalogue/llama-cpp.md for ggml-org/llama.cpp, and updates the catalogue README (12 → 13 entries). Requested in #20.

llama.cpp adopted its current AI usage policy in PR #26012 (merged 2026-07-22), tidied in PR #26030 (2026-07-23). All links and verbatim excerpts are pinned to commit 555881e so the quotes survive link rot.

Three things in it that read as v0.2 signal rather than just another row:

  1. First loosening in the catalogue. Every other entry restricts, holds, or closes; this one moved from a ban on fully/predominantly AI-generated PRs to allowing them, and the maintainer's stated rationale is improved model quality. That makes stance a time-varying property tied to model capability, which makes captured_on load-bearing rather than bookkeeping.
  2. The split is artifact-vs-conversation, not code-vs-docs. Code is allowed; PR descriptions, commit messages, reviewer responses, bug reports, feature requests and discussion posts are all prohibited. The schema's asset dimension can't express that, and a review-interaction field alone wouldn't either — the prohibited set spans the whole contribution conversation.
  3. A clause addressed to the agent's configuration. Like Godot the policy speaks to the agent, but this one instructs it to update its own memory/config to exclude the project — a directive aimed at the control plane, and unverifiable from the contribution artifact.

AI disclosure (required — we dogfood our own standard)

  • AI-assisted — tool and role: drafted by Claude (Claude Code) working under my direction. Every verbatim excerpt, date, PR number and schema-field mapping was verified programmatically against the pinned upstream commit (555881e) before submission; the comparative claims about other catalogue entries were checked against the files in this repository.

Attestations (required)

  • understands-change — I can explain every part of this entry and the sources behind it.
  • reviewed-output — reviewed before submission. To be precise about the mechanism rather than just ticking the box: I reviewed a structured walkthrough of the entry plus the verification output confirming each quoted string exists at the pinned commit, rather than reading the rendered diff line-by-line myself. Flagging that explicitly because "what does review actually mean when an agent drafted it" seems like the live question for this standard, and a vague tick would be the wrong contribution to make here.
  • ran-tests — N/A (prose only).

Type of contribution

  • Policy-catalogue entry (single file in policy-catalogue/)

Sources

Maintainership disclosure: I maintain MergeWarden, a checker in the layer-3 space discussed in #20. This entry documents llama.cpp's policy only and makes no claim about any tool.

llama.cpp adopted its current AI usage policy in PR #26012 (2026-07-22),
tidied in PR #26030. It is the first entry in this catalogue captured
moving from a more restrictive stance to a more permissive one, with the
stated rationale being improved model quality.

Links are pinned to 555881e so the verbatim excerpts survive link rot.

…ntries (#30)

The single follow-up promised once #21, #23-#29 were in. Count 13 to 20,
seven rows added, and the closing line from twelve adopted policies to
nineteen plus the one proposal.

Each row's distinctive feature is the axis that entry adds to the
catalogue rather than a summary of the policy, matching the existing rows:

- Home Assistant — the only policy disclosing the project's own AI use,
  and template bypass as the observable proxy for autonomy
- Mesa — the only graduated disclosure vocabulary, and incompatible with
  both Fedora and Kubernetes on the same mechanism
- OpenStreetMap — the only permissive policy asking for no disclosure at
  all, enforcing on absence of understanding
- FreeBSD — the only policy protecting the project as training data; its
  AI clause is a routing rule rather than a stance
- Bevy — the only policy reasoning about its own enforceability
- Zig — the strictest, and the only one reaching upstream of the artifact
- Asahi Linux — the only stance derived from a pre-existing rule rather
  than written fresh

Every link in the table resolves to a file, and every file in
policy-catalogue/ except README and TEMPLATE appears in the table.
