Both the 'attribute' and 'no attribution' branches of this guidance now also include a computed status string describing whether the commit or PR is managed.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis closes a gap where a project's CLAUDE.md or a memory note could override the intended attribution policy. Attribution behavior should now be more predictable and consistent regardless of other instructions found in the repo.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Names: `CLAUDE.md`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
