+ * The history goes across by running `git push` against the CodeRook remote —
+ * the same command anybody else would type, through the same helper. Nothing
+ * here reaches past it into a private path.
+ *
+ * That is deliberate, because the claim being made is interoperability. A

+ * ## What crosses, and what cannot
+ *
+ * Commits, branches, tags and the project's own description come across.
+ * Issues come across when a read token is supplied. Pull requests, reviews,
+ * CI configuration, stars and collaborator lists do not — some because

+ * copy. The report at the end says which is which rather than leaving the
+ * absence to be discovered.
+ *
+ * ## Tokens
+ *
