the best kill switch is to write a slop codebase only you understand. no intentional evil little mechanisms, no intentional breaking, just the slop, slop written in good faith. now that is legal

To be fair, LLM can cut through unclear codebases like a hot knife through butter. The LLM may make some mistakes, but it gets the general idea.
There is one exception. It is when the code has no type definitions and obfuscated variable names, or worse yet, has incorrect type definitions and misleading variable names, but such code is not maintainable at all anyway, even for oneself.
In summary, even for the author to understand a codebase over a long period, it has to be well organized because human memory doesn't recall all the little details.
