You are going to want an Assisted-by tag here as XBOW is an AI tool?

This won't apply to ba4e7d973dd0. More below.

This looks correct but maybe to make backporting easier all the way to
ba4e7d973dd0, we do this instead...

The above code git blame show this line was last modified in
ba4e7d973dd0.

Then in non-fixes patch, do it like you have it here.
