Darling sets AI contribution rules and adds preliminary ARM64 support
What happened
On November 12, 2026, Hacker News' front page covered Darling's Q4 2026 development update. The update sets rules for AI-assisted contributions: submitters are accountable for every line they submit and must be able to explain it themselves, and maintainers' questions must be answered by a person. Contributions must also meet clean-room requirements, with no leaked material or Apple restricted source code. The same update announced preliminary ARM64 support and further development plans; the report does not give the details of those plans.
