mara set a 20-line comment maximum and scoped this file for the first pass.
Measured rather than eyeballed: this file had exactly one block over 20 — the
28-line header. Every other block in it is 8 lines or fewer, so the pass is
that header plus one removal.
The header keeps the four things a reader can act on — why this check exists,
assertion versus the absence class, name a case for the property it defends,
and evaluates-rather-than-executes with its stubbing rule — and loses the
connective prose around them.
The verdict-reading paragraph goes back out. It landed by a misclick on a PR
she meant to close, and the judgement is the one she gave its sibling: the
technique works, it just does not earn source space.
The lint still enforces 30. 208 blocks repo-wide exceed 20, so flipping MAX
belongs to the overhaul rather than to this file's pass.
