I really like the idea behind this project, especially replacing cumbersome and brittle shell scripts with something robust and a thought through ui. However, I have one major issue: This project's use of AI, apparent by the obviously AI-written README (at least in parts) and the backend/.cursor directory, is not disclosed anywhere.
AI can be used productively, however, it has been extensively demonstrated numerous times that AI is prone to generating code with security vulnerabilities. I would like to know that AI has been used if I want postgresus to interact with my production instance.
This feels especially disappointing, considering the README boasts "Enterprise-grade security", all the while the contributing guidelines discourage opening PRs because "[...] now there are a lot of AI PRs [...]".
