Issue Summary

When using AI tools (such as Claude) to generate new files, there is a risk that the copyright notice may be subtly altered. For example, the word 'HEIRS' was replaced with 'INTERESTS' in the generated notice, which could have legal implications.

Context

• The standard copyright notice used in the codebase includes the phrase 'to the detriment of our HEIRS and successors.'
• AI-generated files have been observed to use 'INTERESTS' instead of 'HEIRS,' which deviates from the approved legal language.
• There is concern that such small changes could go unnoticed and potentially cause legal issues.
• Suggestions in the thread include:
  • Implementing a CI check (possibly as part of s_all) to ensure all files contain the correct copyright notice.
  • Using a copyright memory/skills mechanism in .claude files at the project root.
  • Manual review of AI-generated code before merging to the develop branch.

Proposed Solution

• Implement a CI check that scans all files for the presence and correctness of the copyright notice, specifically verifying the use of 'HEIRS' and not 'INTERESTS.'
• Optionally, enforce copyright notice rules via .claude configuration files.
• Continue to encourage manual review of AI-generated code for legal compliance.
