When I look at the commits themselves, most of the ones generated by Claude are testsuite changes, or at least labelled as such.

Well to look at the last of that list. It added 134 - 3 lines to the project.

Of which, the actual change was

    -        __m256i mul_one;
    -            mul_one = _mm256_abs_epi8(_mm256_cmpeq_epi16(mul_one,mul_one)); // set all vector elements to 1
    +        __m256i mul_one = _mm256_set1_epi8(1);
and the rest was testing that fix.
