>All the code, architecture, logic, and design in minikv were written by me, 100% by hand.

Why people always lie with this? Especially in this case that they uploaded the entire log:

  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:08:04 2025 +0100
      Add hashing utilities and consistent hash ring
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:07:24 2025 +0100
      Create mod.rs for common utilities in minikv
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:07:03 2025 +0100
      Add configuration structures for minikv components
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:06:26 2025 +0100
      Add error types and conversion methods for minikv
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:05:45 2025 +0100
      Add main module for minikv key-value store
And this goes on until project is complete (which probably took 2~3h total if sum all sessions). Doubt learned anything at all. Well, other than that LLMs can solo complete simple projects.

Comments in previous submission are also obviously AI generated. No wonder was flagged.

It looks like that if you want logically separated commits from a chunk of programming you have done. Stage a file or a hunk or two, write commit message, commit, rinse and repeat.

You have never split your working tree changes into separate commits?
