Once a maintainer has confirmed the report as a bug, an Issue will be created on your behalf. This process is described in the issue template and in [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml), but it appears the instructions were ignored, most likely because this report was generated by an AI coding agent.`,

If you are using an agent to interact with this project, please review its output and reproduce the problem yourself before reporting it, and always start in [Discussions](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/discussions/new?category=issue-triage) rather than filing an Issue directly.`,
