 ## CI workflow
 
 Three jobs are defined in [`.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml`](../.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml):
-`nix flake check` (required), `tracker-tag lint`, and `comment-block lint`. The
-lint jobs are non-blocking while the legacy backlog clears. `hive-forge ci-rerun
---pr N` dispatches a `workflow_dispatch` retrigger without an empty commit.
