    What the fuck "never-slop" means here. https://slopscan.ava.pet/repo/https%3A%2F%2Fgithub%2Ecom%2Fscummvm%2Fscummvm/master

      How does that work? It shows that every single recent commit has been LLM-assisted but I can’t see anything to indicate that when checking https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commits/master/

        The scan site shows each commit that it detects, you can open it directly using https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/%7B%7BCOMMIT_ID%7D%7D.

        Those commits have "Assisted-by: Codex:GPT-5.4" text in description, so that's why they are flagged.

        Then there is this: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/AI-GUIDELINES.md

        And also CLAUDE.md and .claude in gitignore, which means that those files are expected to be present on developers' machines and not supposed to be published on github.

        Slop is all over the place, slightly obfuscated in places.
