Adopt the policy established in kubernetes/community#8918: disclose AI assistance in the PR description rather than via commit trailers. Listing AI tooling as a co-author or using 'Assisted-by' / 'Co-developed-by' trailers is now explicitly prohibited, matching the Kubernetes steering committee's position on AI disclosure.

Further rationale: the Assisted-by schema (tool + model name) doesn't capture common multi-agent patterns (planner + executor), and model names alone don't tell reviewers much — the prompt harness and skills matter just as much.

Also adds two new guidance sections:

  • Pull request size: encourage splitting prep commits out separately
  • Commit messages and text: remind agents that natural language can't be machine-checked, so humans should own the commit message prose
