That failure carries no correction, because the tool should not guess which
model or format you meant.

### Disclosure that is appreciated, not required
### Refusing the tool as a co-author, without asking for disclosure

Some projects — [CPython](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/generative-ai/)
among them — welcome disclosure without demanding it, while still refusing the
tool as a co-author. Put CC014 in the top-level `warn` list and the other two

The run still passes. See
The run still passes. The warning still suggests a disclosure that pip and
attrs don't ask for: commit-check has no switch that turns off a single rule,
so reporting CC014 is as quiet as it gets. See
[Report a rule without enforcing it](../configuration.md#report-a-rule-without-enforcing-it).

[CPython](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/ai-tools/) sets no rule
for commits at all: disclosing AI use is appreciated but not required, and
triagers judge each contribution by whether its author can explain it in their
own words. A policy like that leaves nothing for commit-check to enforce, so
keep `ai_attribution` at its default, `"ignore"`.

### Exempting automation

Bots that legitimately carry AI trailers can be excluded:
