Coreboot 26.09 Released With Framework Laptop 12 Support, AI Review Comment Policy

Coreboot 26.09 arrives with support for the Framework Laptop 12 and, more notably, a formal policy on AI-assisted code review. The project's updated Gerrit guidelines and a top-level AGENTS.md let contributors post AI-generated review comments only if each is labeled with an [AI-generated] prefix and personally vetted first, ban AI-written replies to human reviewers, prohibit automated review decisions such as Code-Review +2 or submitting a patch, and require human-scale formatting without model names or confidence fields, leaving authors free to dismiss inapplicable comments.
