+## Notes
+
+- The AI used is Claude Code, a coding agent working in the repository and on the connected board.
+- Design: I chose the entropy method from published papers, the feature set (per-source streams, health tests, statistics, bias amplifier, von Neumann toggles, GCP-format trials) and the radio and power modes. The AI summarized the papers, proposed options with trade-offs and sized the generators from measurements.
+- Implementation: the AI wrote the Verilog, the SAMD21 firmware, the patches to Arduino's WiFi and BLE libraries and the Python tools, asking before significant steps and following my choices.
+- Testing: the AI wrote the testbenches and API checks and ran the simulations, FPGA builds, uploads and statistical runs. I handled the hardware: cables, power sources, LED observations and phone and WiFi tests.
+- Documentation: the AI drafted the README, API reference and code comments on request; I edited and restructured them.
+- Review: I reviewed changes as they were made and approved commits and pushes; the AI checked its own work against simulations and hardware tests.
+- Deployment: there is no CI or release process; I decide when to push.
