1//! `e2e attest` / `e2e verify` (#17) — the e2e attestation nudge.
2//!
3//! `attest` runs the e2e suite locally and records that it ran against the
4//! current commit; `verify` (a later slice, #68) confirms in CI that the latest
5//! code commit is attested. The point is to *nudge* agents to run e2e locally —
6//! CI never runs e2e, it only checks the committed attestation.
7//!
8//! This module implements both `attest` (#67) and `verify` (#68).

144/// a feature-gated subtree (a core `cli/` compiled out of the bindings) whose
145/// changes must not stale them. Because the roots may lie outside the package
146/// subtree — that's the point — the descendant constraint stays on `scope` only.
