A note on AI
Zinc has been a project of several years, and of many failures: attempts that went nowhere, designs that had to be thrown away. It exists today thanks to intensive help from AI.
A large part of the code, tests and documentation of Zinc Next was written with AI coding agents, working through a backlog of precise tasks under rules a person sets and checks: AGENTS.md and RULES.md are the instructions they follow.
The direction, the design choices and the tests on real hardware stay human. Mistakes remain possible; every behaviour is meant to be proven by a test, and reports of what is wrong are welcome.
