Understood, thanks for looking at it so quickly. I'll drop the patch.

Yes. The patch was AI-assisted and should have included

  Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
  Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5.6-sol

I worked from submitting-patches.rst for the tag order and did not read
coding-assistants.rst. My mistake, and it will be on anything I send in future.

Thanks,
Ruslan
