 We recommend that you run your tests using different optimization levels. In particular, we recommend your run tests with the simdjson library and you code compiled in debug mode. The simdjson then sets the SIMDJSON_DEVELOPMENT_CHECKS macro to 1, and this triggers additional checks on your code and on the internals of the library. If possible, we recommend that you run tests with sanitizers (e.g., see [No more leaks with sanitize flags in gcc and clang](https://lemire.me/blog/2016/04/20/no-more-leaks-with-sanitize-flags-in-gcc-and-clang/)).  You can compile the library with sanitizers for debugging purposes (e.g., set SIMDJSON_SANITIZE to ON using CMake), but you should also turn on sanitizers on your own code. You may also use tools like valgrind or the commercial equivalent.

+Mixing debug and release simdjson code is unsafe: you either build all your code using simdjson in
+release mode or all of it in debug mode.

 * We do not support unreleased or experimental compilers. If you encounter an issue with a
 pre-release version of a compiler, do not report it as a bug to simdjson. However, we always
 invite contributions either in the form an analysis or of a code contribution.
+* Vendors (e.g., Apple and Microsoft) stop supporting old systems. Once a compiler system is no longer supported by its vendor, we no longer support it. We will gladly accept code contributions, but we do not consider it a *bug* if you have issues with an obsolete compiler systems. This policy extends to obsolete standard libraries, linkers and other build tools. Please do not report it as an issue. If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, we encourage you to reach out to the vendor for legacy support.

 Under Windows, we support Visual Studio (both with LLVM and without). We do not support MinGW and other alternate compiler systems. Windows users should be aware that there [is a long-running bug with GCC under Windows](https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54412).

+# AI Usage Policy
+
+Contributors can use whatever tools they would like to
+craft their contributions, but there must be a **human in the loop**.
+**Contributors must read and review all LLM-generated code or text before they
+ask other project members to review it.** The contributor is always the author
+and is fully accountable for their contributions. Contributors should be
+sufficiently confident that the contribution is high enough quality that asking
+for a review is a good use of scarce maintainer time, and they should be **able
+to answer questions about their work** during review.
+
+We expect that new contributors will be less confident in their contributions,
+and our guidance to them is to **start with small contributions** that they can
+fully understand to build confidence. We aspire to be a welcoming community
+that helps new contributors grow their expertise, but learning involves taking
+small steps, getting feedback, and iterating. Passing maintainer feedback to an
+LLM doesn't help anyone grow, and does not sustain our community.
+
+This policy includes, but is not limited to, the following kinds of
+contributions:
+
+- Code, usually in the form of a pull request
+- Issues or security vulnerabilities
+- Comments and feedback on pull requests
+
+## Extractive Contributions
+
+The reason for our "human-in-the-loop" contribution policy is that processing
+patches, PRs, RFCs, and comments is not free -- it takes a lot of
+maintainer time and energy to review those contributions! Sending the
+unreviewed output of an LLM to open source project maintainers *extracts* work
+from them in the form of design and code review, so we call this kind of
+contribution an "extractive contribution".
+
+## Transparency
+
+For contributions involving significant AI assistance, we encourage you to disclose
+its use and explain your process. If a submission appears to rely heavily on AI
+without disclosure, we may doubt that the **human-in-the-loop** requirement has
+been met. Please show awareness of your use of AI.
+
+## Copyright
+
+Artificial intelligence systems raise many questions around copyright that have
+yet to be answered. Our policy on AI tools is similar to our copyright policy:
+Contributors are responsible for ensuring that they have the right to
+contribute code under the terms of our license, typically meaning that either
+they, their employer, or their collaborators hold the copyright. Using AI tools
+to regenerate copyrighted material does not remove the copyright, and
+contributors are responsible for ensuring that such material does not appear in
+their contributions. Contributions found to violate this policy will be removed
+just like any other offending contribution.
