All the AI tools usually add "Co-Authored-By XXX" as a trailer on commits where an agent did most of the work.

Cheap and it survives every git tool.

What does this give me beyond that?

"Co-Authored-By" tells you an agent was involved, somewhere, in these 400 lines. It cannot tell you which lines, and it can't tell you anything about verification.
