01

Humans remain authors of record

StandIn retrieves and transports context, but a human must sign it. A wrap is an explicit act of authorship — and every answer StandIn gives cites the person who wrote it.

Why it exists

Accountability cannot be delegated to software. When a decision is communicated, a human must own it.

What it prevents

“The AI said so” excuses, loss of ownership, and lazy documentation practices.
