It would make sense IMHO to address the ignorance in the most expedient manner, namely by telling the *LLM itself* to add this tag when it generates the commit message and/or reviews the code. This could be achieved by adding a statement in "AGENTS.md" in the root of the source tree to this effect, or telling the agent to reference and follow rules in Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst regarding the Assisted-by: tag.
