I have two subjects for this weeks meeting:

- A small ping / status on [ENH: Merge the SlicerLayerDisplayableManager extension as a core module by Thibault-Pelletier · Pull Request #9184 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/9184) if @RafaelPalomar is attending today’s meeting
- Following discussions on AI guidelines, a look at [ITK’s AI documentation](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/tree/main/Documentation/AI)

Notes from meeting

## Agenda

- Timeline on the new Kitware factory machines for native macOS arm64 builds
- Ping / status on [ENH: Merge the SlicerLayerDisplayableManager extension as a core module by Thibault-Pelletier · Pull Request #9184 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/9184)
- Following discussions on AI guidelines, a look at [ITK’s AI documentation](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/tree/main/Documentation/AI)

## Linux builds failing on preview

Need to merge this vtkAddon fix: [COMP: Link the full Python library for wrapped modules where required by pieper · Pull Request #74 · Slicer/vtkAddon · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/vtkAddon/pull/74)

(Done during the meeting, then re-kicked metroplex build)

## ITK’s AI documentation

- including an AGENTS.md was helpful for them to get more/better contributions. The actual AGENTS.md is a small entrypoint to other things than live in an `AI/`` folder
- no “co-authored by” for the LLM because LLMs do not have any of the accountability
  - (but on the other hand: Soemtimes it is helpful to know which model was used so that a different model can be used for review – they have different blind spots.)
