-# GitHub Actions only, because a workflow is all this repository runs. The one action it calls
-# is the conventions check, and that bump is the point of this file: Dependabot moves only the
-# check.yml@ line, so its pull request goes red against conventions.json, and the red is the
-# signal that this repository is behind a conventions release. Finish that pull request on its
-# own branch — move the tag in conventions.json, run `sh conventions/conventions-sync sync` —
-# rather than closing it. Without this file nothing said so, and this repository fell behind
-# unseen while its siblings were told.
