descriptionThis ticket aims to improve the maintainability and clarity of the SSS codebase by adding a standardized warning header to all files that are automatically generated. This warning will clearly indicate that these files should not be manually edited, as any changes will be overwritten by the generation process. The warning should be consistently applied to all generated files throughout the project, regardless of their file type or the tool used for generation. The content of the warning should be clear, concise, and prominently placed at the beginning of the file. For example: 
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//                           AUTOGENERATED FILE!                             //
// This file is automatically generated by SSS (Supreme Sexp System).                 //
// Do not attempt to edit it directly, as your changes will be overwritten. //
// Please refer to the relevant generation script or configuration instead.    //
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The tasks involved in this ticket include: - Identifying all files within the SSS project that are automatically generated. This might involve reviewing build scripts, code generation tools, and other development processes. - Modifying the generation scripts or tools to automatically prepend the warning header to the output files. This will likely require changes to the scripts themselves. - Ensuring the warning is correctly formatted for each file type (e.g., comment syntax for Lisp, Shell, Python, etc.). - Verifying that the warning is present in all generated files after the changes are implemented. - Documenting this convention for future development and maintenance. By implementing this clear AUTOGENERATED warning, we can prevent accidental manual modifications to generated files, which could lead to inconsistencies, errors, and difficulties in updating the system. This will contribute to a more robust and maintainable SSS codebase.
