What do you mean by allowed?

TAS runs aren't put on leaderboards against RTA runs

No idea, I'm no expert at all in the scene :) it's just how TFA closes its story.

TAS can often be used as proof of concepts on upper bounds of what's possible / fastest

Things can often start TAS only & then progress makes it possible for human execution, like OOT Max Child% guay hover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULodSWYC8TI (which then is executed in the actual run 4 hours into 5 & a half hour run: https://youtu.be/NyCklbB0ok0?t=15034)

Route's will often first be shown with LOTAD (low optimization tool assisted demo), before others start trying to execute it in RTA conditions

Everything is allowed as long as you cat honestly. Some present no challenge (like idspispopd and run to exit makes no sense) so nobody runs it.

Aha! Doom noclip so you can run through walls.

(the first google result I got for idspispopd did not say _which_ cheat code it was, so figured I'd mention)
