@jbz looking at the commits, they didn't rewrite anything, they had an LLM do it. They also had an LLM review it, and an LLM responded to the review commits. We must assume nobody there knows what the software does.
example:
https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/13418/commits/215bc1edb4169c0754696367c2178004a86f2135
