+# Availability-marker guard (issue #238). Five of five markers found by #221
+# outlived the releases that shipped their machinery. A release candidate must
+# therefore reject a marker its assembled changelog makes false, while every
+# tree rejects an untraceable marker. Cross-repo citations are traceable but
+# are not compared with this repository's changelog.
+#
+# Usage: marker-check.sh [tree-dir]   (default: the repository root)
