+/**
+ * The ledger note as the CLI shows it (M2 slice 6). For a project whose ledger is on, the server renders the
+ * whole budgeted note (`renderLedgerNote`) and hands it to the CLI as a field of `prepare_handoff`. The server
+ * cannot see the working tree and does not know which tools this reader has, so the CLI changes four things in
+ * it and nothing else:
+ *
+ *  1. the server's "Tree: not checked here" line becomes the CLI's own truth-check verdict;
+ *  2. the server's tools line (it names `record_ops`) becomes the CLI's (it names `seal`);
+ *  3. the checkpoint line goes right before `Next:`, where the v1 note has it;
+ *  4. the acknowledge hint goes on the `Next:` line, where the v1 note has it.
+ *
+ * No server text is dropped or reworded. A line is found by the start of its text (`LEDGER_NOTE_ANCHORS`),
+ * and `ledgerNoteLocal.test.ts` renders the server's real note to hold those starts to what the server
+ * writes, so a rewording on the server fails a test in this repository. If a line is not where it should
+ * be, what the CLI has to add goes next to the frame's edge instead: the note is longer, never shorter.
+ *
+ * The result stays under Claude Code's 10,000-character cap by shrinking only what the CLI adds, in tiers:
+ * file names in the verdict and checkpoint lines go from 20 to 8 to 3 to 1, the tools line goes short, and
+ * the checkpoint line goes last of all.
+ *
+ * Pure TypeScript with no database, network, Node, Convex, or Next.js; vendored into the CLI.
