Review request for PR #153469: FrameSummary.line docs

Hi,

When a maintainer has a chance please review PR #153469. It’s been open since July and I’ve already commented on the PR without any reply.

It’s a small documentation and docstring change that says FrameSummary.line is a single line (for GH-140456).

Thanks in advance!

Closed by methane, so no further review is needed. Thanks!

Traditionally, new contributors have been encouraged to find simple issues and submit PRs. Even if a PR did not meet the required quality standards and needed to be completely rewritten, it was normal to provide guidance on what needed to be improved.

However, AI has now made creating PRs extremely easy. As a result, we receive many AI slop PRs from people motivated by things like improving their job prospects or qualifying for the Claude or Codex OSS programs.

I’m not assuming that you created this PR for any of those reasons. However, when a PR is created with AI assistance, it is far more efficient for me to use AI directly than to give instructions to AI through the contributor. When a PR looks like something that could be generated easily with AI, it becomes difficult to justify spending time providing guidance instead of simply doing the work myself, even though mentoring new contributors is important.

For reference, here is the PR I had AI rewrite:

Instead of simply adding one line, I rewrote the existing paragraph to make it more concise. I also reviewed the documentation for the API directly related to the original issue and updated the outdated parts.

Thanks for the guidance and judgment here! This makes sense and your change is better focused and more concise…e.g. fixing the description of what format_list accepts which is what the issue’s example was using. Next time I’ll try to understand the issue better and check surrounding docs carefully so that the change is relevant and concise (no code bloat).
