+# AI Usage Policy
+
+CosmicCore is built with AI assisted tooling, and that is welcome here. The lead
+developer and contributors use AI assisted tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot,
+and others) as a normal part of the workflow. This policy is not anti-AI. It
+exists so that AI is used honestly and well and to give credit to the human 
+efforts that go into maintaining working user facing experiences.
+
+The rules are simple:
+
+* **Disclose AI usage.** If AI tools helped produce a contribution, say so:
+name the tool (for example Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) and the extent it was
+used. Disclosure can be a note in the pull request or a `Co-authored-by:`
+trailer on the commit. There is no penalty for using AI. There **is** a problem
+with hiding it.
+
+* **You must fully understand your own code.** If you cannot explain what a
+change does and how it fits the rest of the system without the AI holding your
+hand, do not contribute it. The human who opens the pull request owns the code
+in it. If you do not understand it, take the time to learn it and be capable
+of organizing and tracing it without the usage of AI. Ghostipedia (The lead dev)
+pre-acknowledges their own stupidity, and will try to learn from anything they
+may not understand.
+
+* **Human-review and trim AI text.** Issues, discussions, and pull request
+descriptions may be AI-assisted, but a human must read, edit, and cut them down
+before posting. AI tends toward verbose filler. Do the work of trimming it to
+the point, same case with code if your agent spews duplicated code everywhere
+like a pet owner, clean up after your robot.
+
+* **No AI-generated media.** Art, textures, models, animations, audio, and
+video must be human-made. Code and text are the only acceptable AI-assisted
+content. CosmicCore's original art is part of its identity and is not open
+season for generators.
+
+* **Low-effort AI slop will not be accepted.** Disclosed or not, a contribution
+that is clearly unreviewed machine output, and that puts the burden of
+validation on someone else, will be closed. If you want to learn the codebase
+the slow human way, say so and you will get help from many devs, including myself.
+Note: this only applies to contributors, Ghostipedia themselves is fully 
+responsible for inspecting and checking their code works before deployment.
+
+## There are Humans Here
+
+This project is maintained by humans. Every issue and pull request is a point
+where people interact with each other and with the work. Approaching that
+boundary with low-effort, unverified output is rude, because it pushes the cost
+of checking it onto someone else I recommend you stand behind honest, even if crude
+work.
+
+## AI is Welcome Here
+
+To be clear, because the rules above are strict and absolute for incoming contributors
+AI is apart of the workflow of Cosmiccore, and most likely will remain that way.
+Tedious busy work is one of the many ways it has saved myself and others mental energy
+and time. The strict rules are to help set firm boundaries on usage in a time where
+it is uncertain what the next new thing in AI will look like, let alone the
+discussions surrounding it. So keep it respectful, to me, and to other contributors.

+// --- Sodium 0.8.x (dev-only render testing) --------------------------------------------------------------
+// Sodium 0.8 ships on caffeinemc maven as a 3-artifact set (-api / -mod / the production "shell"). The shell
+// claims modId "sodium", which on a dev classpath would shadow the real sodium-neoforge-mod and make the game
+// report "sodium is not installed". So we strip the shell down to a plain LIBRARY (drop its mod metadata) and
+// load sodium-neoforge-mod as the actual mod, plus Sinytra's Forgified Fabric API shims for the FRAPI paths 0.8
+// needs. Pattern from SrRapero720/chloride (1.21.1-neo), adapted from NeoGradle to ModDevGradle.
+// Defined here (before the dependency/repository applies) so dependencies.gradle can use the config + task.
