So I made the obvious choice and switched to AI-augmented development. I used every development skill I have, but I did not write the code: I broke the product of my dreams into features, had them implemented one by one, and reviewed each at its end. I had my say in the test scenarios, the readability of the code and how the files are organised, so that all of it stays checkable by a human. The changelog says how much of each release is written by hand. A lot can change and break over time, so the tests go through what a user touches: the conformance suite, the command line, the C API and the Python package, checking what a user would see and how each is meant to be used. I am happy with the result: it does everything I need to run and develop my services. In other words, this is a library I use myself, and it will be maintained.
