Add AI policy. The summary is that contributions which include a significant
amount of code written or generated by AI should include an attribution in a
code comment and in the git commit message/PR body.

Also include some recent updates to python related github actions.

maintainer can start them by posting a /citest slash command in a
pull request comment.

See GitHub CI testing using /citest
for details.

Run every available CI workflow:

/citest all

Run the linting and other lightweight checks:

/citest linters

Run the integration tests (QEMU/container and Testing Farm):

/citest integration

Run one or more selected workflows by separating their names with spaces:

/citest ansible-lint
/citest ansible-lint markdownlint

Walkthrough

The pull request adds AI attribution instructions to contributor guidance, the pull request template, and a CodeRabbit check. It also updates action versions in the Ansible, Python unit test, and CodeQL workflows.

Changes: AI Attribution Guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
AI attribution guidance and checks
contributing.md, .github/pull_request_template.md, .coderabbit.yaml
Contributor guidance and the pull request template request attribution for substantial AI-generated code. A warning-mode CodeRabbit check gives related instructions.

Workflow Action Version Updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update workflow action versions
.github/workflows/ansible-lint.yml, .github/workflows/ansible-test.yml, .github/workflows/python-unit-test.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml
Python setup steps now use actions/setup-python@v7.1.0. CodeQL initialization, autobuild, and analysis now use v4.39.1.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Suggested reviewers: spetrosi

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 15b21

The new AI attribution check in the CodeRabbit configuration has a missing closing quote, so the configuration will fail to load and the check will not run. Fix the quote before merging; the rest of the change (policy text and workflow action updates) looks fine.

Close the custom check name string.

Line 102 is missing the closing quote. YAML parsing fails, so CodeRabbit cannot load this configuration or run the new check. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
