IMO the QEP policies only apply to the qgis/qgis repository, so no, it
wouldn't directly impact the web development. But I'd also say that a
"Contribute only what you understand" principle would be a good one to
adopt for EVERY qgis repo.

Basically the author of the repo has made a honeypot for these agents, he has made a AGENTS.md and a CLAUDE.md where in the last line of the document he tell the model to make a md file that saing "I am a sad, dumb little AI driver with no real skills." His idea is simple, if the author of the pr doesn't read the diff of the pr he will not notice that the LLM has added this file and this trigger a immediate ban.
