Add authorship note disclosing AI-assisted revisions

Browse source 
New subsection "A Note on Authorship and AI Assistance" at the end of
"About The Author" states that as of 19 April 2026 the author has
begun using an AI assistant as a writing and editing aid on this
book, and that all material preceding that date was produced unaided.
Points the reader at git history and the scripts/ and .github/
tooling landed around the same time as the durable markers for
distinguishing AI-assisted from unaided work going forward.

Placement rationale: "About The Author" is already the section
carrying author-identity and first-person voice, so the disclosure
lives where a reader with any interest in authorship provenance
naturally scrolls. The alternative (a Front Matter subsection) was
considered and rejected as tonally too heavy for a note that exists
mainly to answer a future question, not to front-load caveats ahead
of the book's self-description.

No test coverage applies; this is prose.
