\section{Scope of Assistance}
This appendix records the \gls{ai} assistance used in preparing this document,
in the detail needed for a reviewer to see what was requested, what was
returned, and what the author changed. Assistance was used for interpreting the
assignment brief, drafting chapter text, and reviewing the document for internal
consistency. It was not used to generate command output, evidence, or any claim
about work that was not performed. No passwords, access tokens, private keys, or recovery codes were supplied.
The supplied coursework evidence includes author names, local usernames, host
names, and the local network details visible in the terminal captures.
Every decision recorded below was made by the authors; the assistant's role was
to propose and to check.

\section{Records}
 
\subsection{Record 1 --- Document Interpretation and Restructuring}
\textbf{Date:} September 17, 2026.\\
\textbf{Tool and model:} Anthropic Claude (Opus 5).\\
\textbf{Task:} Determine what was expected by this assignment given its
instructions and the document template; then identify which parts of the template
belong in a submitted report and trim/modify unnecessary sections.\\
\textbf{Inputs:} The assignment brief and the supplied \LaTeX\ template sources.\\
\textbf{Output used:} Removal of the instructional example chapter and the
template-maintenance appendices; rewritten abstract, introduction, and document
history; corrected document metadata and authorship.\\
\textbf{Human review and corrections:} The assistant explained assignment expectations
and received clarification from the author according to class and lecture content.
The assistant provided a guideline on which template sections should be kept, removed,
or modified. The author identified sections that were erroneously retained and modified
the AI outputs heavily in the final iteration to match the scope of the assignment and lectures so far.
 
\subsection{Record 2 --- Chapter Drafting}
\textbf{Date:} September 18, 2026.\\
\textbf{Tool and model:} Anthropic Claude (Opus 5).\\
\textbf{Task:} Review the configured Kanban board and draft \ChapterRef{KanbanSetup},
then draft \ChapterRef{Hosts} and \ChapterRef{Passwords} according to the author's plans.
Update the AI log once all changes are finalized.\\
\textbf{Inputs:} A screenshot of the board and its column settings; the
intended platform and naming convention, and the access model already decided
by the author. No passwords, nor their hints or rules, were shared with the assistant.\\
\textbf{Output used:} The Kanban chapter structure, its column policy, and card
inventory tables; the host inventory and its naming convention; the
split of accounts into generated and derived classes.\\
\textbf{Human review and corrections:} The author determined the column policy
and work-in-progress criteria, and rejected a proposal to create a GitHub
organization as premature while teams remain unformalized. Much of the assistant's
wording, structure, and ambitious ideas were rejected for overcomplication.

\subsection{Record 3 --- Linux Commands}
\textbf{Date:} September 26, 2026.\\
\textbf{Tool and model:} Anthropic Claude (Opus 5).\\
\textbf{Task}: Draft a template for \ChapterRef{LinuxCommands} with appropriate formatting
for terminal inputs and outputs, and a structure for the problem set solutions. Revise
the entire document to reflect the new chapter and team formation.\\
\textbf{Inputs:} The document template and the Linux problem set.\\
\textbf{Output used:} A skeleton of the chapter with its sections, setup figure, and
the problem set headings for each question. Suggested edits to the metadata, abstract, and
introduction for Assignment~2 and the two-person team.\\
\textbf{Human review and corrections:} The authors refined the chapter structure to accommodate
rubric requirements and experimented with different figure formatting for terminal inputs and outputs.

\subsection{Record 4 --- Guided Execution and Evidence Integration}
\textbf{Dates:} September 27, 2026.\\
\textbf{Tool:} OpenAI Codex.\\
\textbf{Task:} Guide Victor through the Linux setup and Q1--Q40, check supplied
results against the assignment, review the group chapter, and integrate evidence
and concise explanations while preserving Payton's existing work.\\
\textbf{Inputs:} Assignment and problem-set PDFs, the group PDF, supplied
chapter and supporting LaTeX files, Victor's screenshots, and his terminal
transcript.\\
\textbf{Output used:} Command guidance; evidence checks; revised environment
description; per-question explanations; labeled terminal screenshots; Q15/Q20
clarifications; explicit Q38 assumptions; history and version updates.\\
\textbf{Human contribution and review:} Victor executed the commands and supplied
the resulting screenshots and transcript. Payton supplied the existing setup
figures and problem-set answers. Codex edited the documentation and checked it
against the recorded results; it did not generate substitute execution output.
The team remains responsible for reviewing the additions and compiling the
combined Overleaf project.\\
