Repo: https://github.com/binaryplates/cpu-turbo-widget Yes, I used AI assistance (Claude Code) during development, and I can explain/justify any part of the implementation. In direct response to the guidelines, I've since removed the sudoers.d+sudo pattern in favor of a polkit action + pkexec'd, fixed-argv, root-owned helper, and moved read-only status reporting into native GJS instead of shelling out to a bundled bash script — the only remaining subprocess calls are to system binaries with no GJS equivalent (docker, systemctl, prime-select) plus the one pkexec'd helper. These changes are live in version 2, just submitted.
