I was browsing the GitHub pages for Ares, MAME, Snes9x, and Stella, and learned that they, unfortunately, have at least a single commit "co-authored" by Claude Code. (I've been able to find the last commits prior to them thanks to [repo-slopscore](https://slopscan.ava.pet/)...)
I feel confident putting Stella on the list due to its [CLAUDE.md](https://github.com/stella-emu/stella/blob/master/CLAUDE.md) and the fact that it's used for huge changes ([refactoring the codebase](e8ca91e376)).
I don't feel as confident for the other projects, for the gen AI usage is a bit sparse and I'm not sure if they still count as part of the "permissive AI policy" rule, especially since, as far as I know, MAME developers have been outspoken against AI on Reddit and brought up MAME being vibe-coded as an [April Fools joke](https://www.mamedev.org/?p=562). I feel like these projects should have an AI policy in place; perhaps more kind eyes needed?
EDIT: [RPCS3](https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3#ai-use) also has an AI contribution policy that, from how I've read it, accepts some form of AI and stresses the responsibility of the human user behind it.

Adds [deflock.org](https://deflock.org)
While it isnt necessarily built to be run locally, there are instructions on how to do so, so I felt it would be worth including here.
Overpass Turbo is listed as an alternative as a different and more versatile frontend to the same data.
Uses ai 'art' and permissive ai policy as evidence.
I marked
> If you need help tailoring this to your situation, appealing rejections, etc., ChatGPT is a great resource.
on the [request public records](https://deflock.org/foia) page as  as there doesn't seem to be a better label, though I'm aware this probably isn't the clearest and am happy to change it; marking this PR as WIP until that's resolved.
Didn't find an untainted commit as, while this is subjective, much of the original copy on the site read as slop.

Note: the "Messaging Clients" section becomes too big and the "Messaging Client Alternatives by protocols" subsection isn't really flexible as it only covers decentralized protocols. That doesn't allow me to add something like Signal/cwtch/briar as an alternative.
