# The pinned-tool registry: every tool a snippet pins, declared once. Each
# entry names the pinned version, the workflow reference where one exists,
# which bindings use it, and the URL a freshness check queries. The rk-setup
# skill reads this registry and checks each relevant entry upstream before
# landing files; checked is the date of the last such comparison.
