I don't know. You've got too carried away with the AI slop and I'm having hard
time figuring out what you're even saying. That can be at least ambiguous, if
not outright confusing. So my answer is, yes, no, maybe, I need to see
concrete patches.

All I meant with my previous mail was: go over the Sashiko issues it caught,
verify them whether they make sense or not and fix those which do make sense
and which are in your part of the code, and say why you're not fixing the
other ones which do not sound sensible.

I sincerely hope that helps.
