📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds an AI contribution policy and updates the scheduled/manual shared-configuration workflow to synchronize the policy and two additional configuration files.

Changes

AI policy and synchronization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define AI contribution policy AI_POLICY.md	Defines requirements for AI disclosure, review, quality, autonomy, labeling, enforcement, co-authorship, and commit credit.
Synchronize shared policy files .github/workflows/update-shared-configs.yml	Adds AI_POLICY.md, .clang-tidy, and cliff.toml to the workflow synchronization list.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a7201

The new policy file is missing required license and copyright metadata, so it does not yet meet repository contribution requirements and should be corrected before merge to avoid synchronization overwriting a later local fix.

the project’s required SPDX license identifier and copyright notice, matching
the established header format in CONTRIBUTING.md. Ensure the shared source is
corrected before synchronizing AI_POLICY.md so the metadata is preserved.
