Hello!

It is evident your contributions have developed with the assistance of LLM/AI tools. This in itself is not problematic, but we still expect you to review and adjust their output in line with the project expectations and requirements (as per our contributing documentation). Unfortunately, your contribution does not meet this bar.

---

• Error codes in this context means the status code that a process terminates with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_status. These are often used by automated scripts to determine whether a command failed or not.
• If there are no paths to remove, that doesn't mean the package is installed external to the environment. It's possible that the RECORD file in the installation metadata is broken or missing.

We do not have the resources to review and correct contributions that are filled with LLM errors and misunderstandings. If you are not already aware:

• LLMs often hallucinate, i.e. lie and make stuff up
• LLMs do not understand subtle context. While its output may be factually correct, it is likely that it is irrelevant/inapplicable to the exact situation because of unknown requirement, missing knowledge, etc.
• LLM generated texts are also generally hard/tiring to read. LLMs often generate walls of text that are full of fluff and redundant statements.

We understand that you may be using LLMs/AI as an aid for some some disability or barrier. You can use such tools as part of your work, but you are responsible for verifying their output and that they do not negatively impact everyone's ability to engage productively in the contribution process.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello,

Thank you for getting back so quickly! I will investigate the problem further, and come back with something more substantial. I actually didn't write any code using an LLM... but I will scrutinize my code more going forward.

Again, thanks for the insight.

No worries, it's genuinely very difficult to scrutinize whether something is LLM generated slop or not! We don't mean to discourage genuine attempts (like yours) to contribute, but we have received a number of spammy PRs and issues so we have to be careful to not waste too much time on those.

Oh, I totally understand that! And again, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'll take another crack at it haha.
