The repository is less than one week old though; having only the initial commit wouldn't shock me right away.

That is totally fine... as long as you don't call it 'production grade'. I wouldn't call anything production grade that hasn't actually spent time (more than a week!) in actual production.

But if the initial commit contains the finished project then that suggests that either it was developed without version control, or that the history has deliberately been hidden.

		It was/is quite common for corporate projects that become open-source to be born as part of an internal repository/monorepo, and when the decision is made to make them open-source, the initial open source commit is just a dump of the files in a snapshotted public-ready state, rather than tracking the internal-repo history (which, even with tooling to rebase partial history, would be immensely harder to audit that internal information wasn't improperly released). So I wouldn't use the single-commit as a signal indicating AI-generated code. In this case, there are plenty of other signals that this was AI-generated code :)
