+# The shared half of the pull request hygiene rules, called rather than copied
+# (#178).
+#
+# WHY THIS FILE EXISTS. `iderex/wache` holds one implementation of the rules
+# every board in this fleet shares, and the argument for calling it instead of
+# growing another copy is iderex/operations#1556: nineteen boards carried
+# nineteen implementations of the same three or four rules, in four languages,
+# no two alike, so a two line change to a shared rule cost nineteen edits and
+# failed in nineteen different ways.
+#
+# WHAT IT ADDS HERE. Two things this board does not read today: a placeholder
+# title such as `wip`, and a closing keyword sitting inside a paragraph instead
+# of on a line of its own.
+#
+# WHAT IT DOES NOT REPLACE. Nothing beside it changes. Four rules in
+# .github/pr-hygiene/hygiene.sh have no equivalent in the shared check at all:
+# the comparison of changed paths against the `Scope:` line of every issue the
+# body names, the qualifier aware reading that lets `owner/repo#N` be pasted as
+# evidence without becoming a question about this board, the rule that a body
+# names an issue rather than closing one, and the emptiness rule as this board
+# means it, where the template skeleton with a number filled in is refused. A
+# local rule goes only once the shared check is shown to cover it, one rule at a
+# time, in its own change. Standardising by deleting coverage would be worse
+# than the duplication.
+#
+# THE SUBJECT RULE IS OFF. The shared check wants the issue in the commit
+# subject in square brackets. Of the 52 authored subjects the first page of this
+# board's default branch returns, none carries that shape and the twelve most
+# recent carry no reference in the subject at all, because this board puts the
+# reference in the body on purpose and its own check reads the body. Switching
+# this one rule off says the board does not meet that rule yet, which is a
+# statement somebody can act on. Calling the check with the rule on would refuse
+# every pull request here on day one. Not calling the check at all would say
+# nothing.
+#
+# PINNED BY HASH, NOT BY BRANCH. A moving reference would let the called
+# repository change what executes here without anybody reviewing the change, and
+# zizmor on this board refuses an unpinned reference anyway. The hash below is
+# the one every other caller in the fleet carries, and the file it resolves to is
+# byte for byte the file the newer tag carries, so this board executes the same
+# bytes as the rest.
+#
+# THIS FILE DECLARES ITS OWN CONCURRENCY GROUP AND THAT IS NOT DECORATION. The
+# called workflow declares `pr-hygiene-<pull request number>` with
+# `cancel-in-progress`, and that is the same string
+# .github/workflows/pr-hygiene.yml on this board already uses. A caller that
+# declares no group of its own is left in that group, and then the two runs
+# cancel each other: on another board carrying the identical local group, the
+# local run was cancelled on the very commit that added the shared call, and the
+# grey check has stood there since. The group below cannot collide with it.
