       . Feedback solicitated on the "mode" parameter support 

* Discussion: use of AI generated code 
   - Example: PR #11915 "prov/shm: Make signal handler composable with outer handlers"
   - Questions: 
      . what are the guidelines?
      . how to document? Should declare that the code is AI generated?
      . any licensing / copyright issue?
      . any implication on the code review process?
  - Reached consensus on:
      . AI generated code is allowed, but must be reviewed and submitted by human
      . PR created by AI bot is not acceptable
      . The submitter takes full responsibility on the licensing and copyright issue, via the "signed-off-by" line
      . Can indicate the code is AI generated in the PR or commit message, but it is not mandatory.
      . Reviewers should pay attention to issues like excessive comments and coding style
      . Will update the CONTRIBUTORS file to include clauses about AI generated code
