+            Thank you for your contribution! However, we've closed this PR for at least one of these reasons:
+
+            - The issue this PR resolves is reserved for new recruits. You should instead find issues to work on using [these search filters](${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20-label%3A%22Recommended%20for%20Recruits%22).
+            - This PR uses AI in a way that breaks the [Nebula Labs AI Policy](https://nebula-labs.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AgCwQw).
+            - We plan to approach this issue in another way.
+
+            Please let us know if you have any questions!
