Assisted-by: Codex gpt-5.5

This is more of a Git for Windows trailer. The Git project doesn’t
document its use.

An aside here but these trailers attributing specific LLMs feels like
etching “Peter was here” under some table. What benefit for the project
does knowing that it was this version of Codex or Claude or something?
A link to the prompt/conversation would provide provenance and show how
the LLM was used. But three years from now, what information beyond the
fact that an LLM was involved (any of them) does this offer?

I can understand the benefit for the companies behind these LLMs to have
these attributions in OSS projects.

I have done the same thing in our company repo, crediting <LLM> for
authoring or co-authoring or helping with a specific thing. Using a
“people” trailer. But the intent was just to show how some LLM was
involved. So I think I am going to switch to the following trailer for
our company repo.

    LLM: Yes

This all sounds reasonable to me. The kernel has started asking for
this trailer (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/78d979db6cef557c171d6059cbce06c3db89c7ee)
and I saw precedent in Git as recently as last month
(https://github.com/git/git/commit/7a094d68a27e321a99c8ab6b700909e503904bd9)
so I erred on the side of caution.

I am also OK with this trailer being dropped or replaced on apply.
