I probably should have mentioned this, but I don't have any treaties with the AI empire (Ketling Star Pack), although I believe we are both associates of the same federation.

The problem is that "auto-decline" has been (for whatever reason, be it intention with problematic consequences or a bug) been turned into auto-accept when it comes for proposals. This is/feels very wrong.

A fix for this is (according to a dev post) on its way for the nemesis update. However they are not sure if they make it in time.

This. You and Kettling shared a casus belli against the attacked country (containment, counterattack - I assume the first one). Kettlings invited you to join the offensive war and since this is bugged you autoapproved.
