CapstanAI LabNote is human-led. Human maintainers retain authorship, decision authority, repository control, and release authority.
The project has also used managed AI assistance for development, implementation, testing, review, and documentation. The roles below describe that assistance transparently; they do not transfer responsibility away from the human maintainers.
| Contributor | Role in the project |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT (“Cal”) | Project design, documentation development, implementation coordination, and review |
| Claude | Independent critique, testing, and editorial review |
| OpenAI Codex | Repository implementation, validation design, and technical review |
| Claude Code | Implementation and test assistance |
| DeepSeek | Simplified-Chinese translation assistance and linguistic, cultural, and adversarial review |
This is a project-wide provenance record. It describes the kinds of assistance used while the project was developed and reviewed.
It is not an employment record, an agency relationship, an authorship transfer, or a claim that an AI system holds responsibility for a project decision, repository change, or release.
Specific releases, pull requests, review records, and revision notes retain their own local history. They may name the work or review relevant to that revision without needing to repeat this full project-wide record.
