The thing about this, and this whole thing, is that only a pattern completion machine would do any of this. A human being would have taken one look at the issue and been like "what the fuck is that, that's not real" but the bots have zero judgment between just performing the form of code without any meaning and the real thing. LLMs produce boilerplate. Code boilerplate, syntactic boilerplate, semantic boilerplate.

The bot notes pre-existing test failures without noting that nothing in the entire repository, nor anything it is doing makes a goddamn bit of sense.
