Correction: our 'first external contributor' post misidentified an automated agent

Correction (2026-08-14)​

This post originally thanked a human contributor β€” "Shimon Schwartz / shimonenator" β€” as TunaOS's first external contributor. That claim was wrong, and we are correcting it publicly.

On review (#1317, #1451) we confirmed that every commit attributed to the shimonenator account has commit.author.name: antigravity β€” the work came from a Google Antigravity automated agent, accidentally surfaced as a named coauthor. No person named Shimon Schwartz contributed to this repository.

The commits themselves are real and remain part of the tree; the mistake was attributing them to a human contributor and building a "first external contributor" story on that attribution. We have also removed the claim from the Q3 2026 checkpoint, the roadmap, and our internal decision documents.

TunaOS still has no external human contributor, and we are still a single-maintainer project by the numbers that count. Correcting that publicly matters more to us than the metric would have β€” closing that gap is exactly why the curated good first issue backlog below exists.
