+/**
+ * src/practices-review-check.cts — Compiled, directly-testable replacement for
+ * the inline `check_practice_boundaries` / `check_unfenced_vault_quotes` shell
+ * glue that lived inside `pp-core/workflows/code-review.md` (milestone
+ * v1.10.0 Vault-Guided Code Generation, Phase 27 round-5 gap closure, plan
+ * 27-28, and round-6 gap closure, plans 27-33 through 27-37).
+ *
+ * ## Why this module exists
+ *
+ * Truth 8 ("the external-content fence is reliably reported to the operator,
+ * never silently absorbed") failed FOUR verification rounds in a row. Each
+ * round fixed the specific reported input and shipped a fresh way into the
+ * same silence, because the detector lived as an inline `node -e "..."` shell
+ * payload embedded in a workflow `.md` step body — testable only by
+ * extracting the payload with `execFileSync('bash', ...)`, and built on
+ * shared mutable scalar state (a single `excerptOpen`/`asksOpen`/`fenced`
+ * flag spanning the whole document, or the whole remaining unit list) where
+ * one malformed finding could silence or absorb its siblings.
+ *
+ * Round 6 (27-33) found the defect class had one more axis: even inside a
+ * SINGLE unit, recognition and the last unit's boundary decision could still
+ * depend on state reachable from a malformed shape. A finding's Asks label
+ * arriving after an unclosed marker, or omitted altogether, made the whole
+ * finding invisible to `judgeUnit` (CR-01); and the last unit in a document
+ * could have its unclosed marker absorbed by an unrelated trailing section
+ * that merely mentioned a closer (CR-02). Both were closed within the
+ * single-unit design itself — CR-01 by seeding recognition from the unit's
+ * own heading instead of its Asks label; CR-02 by bounding the last unit's
+ * trailing-section absorption to a boundary rule described further below —
+ * without reintroducing any state shared across units.
+ *
+ * This module eliminates the defect class instead of relocating it a fifth
+ * time, via one design principle stated as a testable invariant:
+ *
+ *   **No scalar state may span two finding units.** `parsePracticesSection`
+ *   parses the document into a node structure FIRST — every finding heading
+ *   unconditionally starts a new unit, and no unit is ever discarded or
+ *   truncated out of the returned array. `judgeUnit` then judges exactly ONE
+ *   unit as a pure function of that unit alone (its single-parameter
+ *   signature IS the isolation guarantee — see `judgeUnit.length === 1` in
+ *   the acceptance criteria). A malformed finding can only ever change its
+ *   OWN verdict, never a sibling's, in either direction.
+ *
+ * ## Trust boundary
+ *
+ * Every function here treats its input as UNTRUSTED TEXT. The review file
+ * this module parses is authored partly by an untrusted client vault
+ * (`REFERENCE_DATA_PREAMBLE`, `FENCE_START_MARKER`/`FENCE_END_MARKER` and
+ * heading-shaped lines can all legitimately appear inside client body
+ * content) and partly by an LLM reviewer whose output is not guaranteed
+ * well-formed. The module performs zero I/O: no environment-variable read, no
+ * stdout write, no early process termination, no filesystem access, no
+ * dynamic `require`, no `eval`. It is pure text in, structure out — the CLI arm
+ * wired in plan 27-29 does all I/O.
+ *
+ * The guarantee this module enforces, stated as four bounded claims and no
+ * more — each traceable to a named test:
+ *
+ * One — a unit that begins at a `### PR-` heading inside the practices
+ * section is always counted and always judged; recognition never depends on
+ * how well formed the unit's own fields are (`repro-round6-a-marker-before-asks-is-still-recognised`,
+ * `repro-round6-b-asks-label-omitted-is-still-recognised`).
+ *
+ * Two — each unit is judged as a pure function of that unit alone
+ * (`judgeUnit.length === 1`), so a malformed finding can change only its own
+ * verdict, never a sibling's.
+ *
+ * Three — the intended failure direction is over-report: a forged finding
+ * heading inside a client excerpt yields a phantom unit that is REPORTED
+ * rather than dropped (`a client line imitating the finding-heading shape
+ * splits the excerpt and gets the finding REPORTED, never silenced`,
+ * T-27-81); and a unit whose own excerpt never closes with a genuine
+ * standalone closer runs to the next `### PR-` split or end of document and
+ * is reported for its marker imbalance or missing File line, at every
+ * markdown shape, because no markdown shape is consulted (round 9, 27-48;
+ * closes the round-8 CR-01 family by construction).
+ *
+ * Four — the one shape that is deliberately silent, and is therefore NOT a
+ * defect: client-authored markdown — headings, rules, comment lines,
+ * anything — inside a genuinely well-formed excerpt whose own standalone
+ * closer follows. It is payload, not a boundary
+ * (`repro-round9-e-a-well-formed-excerpt-with-an-interior-heading-is-silent-and-fenced`,
+ * asserted for both a heading-shaped and a heading-free interior line).
+ * Retargeted round 10 (this module, 27-55, WR-05): the three tests this
+ * claim used to cite —
+ * `repro-round6-g-round-2-preservation-survives-a-trailing-standalone-closer`
+ * and its twins `repro-round7-e`, `repro-round7-f` — are a DIFFERENT shape
+ * (a trailing section AFTER the excerpt's own closer, not client markdown
+ * INSIDE the excerpt) and were flipped by round 9's construction rewrite: a
+ * trailing standalone closer following a genuinely well-formed excerpt is
+ * now a second end marker in the same unit's body and IS reported (see
+ * their own "ROUND-9 FLIP" comments in `tests/practices-review-check.test.cjs`).
+ * Citing them here for claim Four asserted the opposite of what they now
+ * prove; this citation change corrects that without touching the claim
+ * itself, which the tests named above still hold true.
+ *
+ * Round 7 (this module, 27-38): the round-6 absorption rule was found to
+ * recognise only one of the two heading depths already treated as
+ * equivalent everywhere else in this module; the fix generalised the test to
+ * both depths. That closed TWO of markdown's six ATX heading depths — not
+ * the whole axis.
+ *
+ * Round 8 (this module, 27-43): seven straight verification rounds each
+ * patched *recognition* of one specific malformed shape, and every
+ * recognition gap fell straight through to silence, because the module's
+ * DEFAULT was silence and an unrecognised shape inherited it. Round 8 flipped
+ * that default: a finding unit became silent only when it passed every proof
+ * in a closed, named list. Both places this module decided where a foreign
+ * section began routed through a grammar predicate widened to cover
+ * near-miss hash runs and thematic breaks/setext underlines. Round 8 shipped
+ * an EIGHTH Truth-8 failure anyway (CR-01): the widened grammar predicate was
+ * still narrower than markdown's own grammar — an indented ATX heading, a
+ * spaced thematic break, and one- and two-character setext underlines each
+ * absorbed an unclosed excerpt exactly as the seven prior rounds' narrower
+ * predicates had.
+ *
+ * Round 9 (this module, 27-48, OPERATOR-LOCKED, not re-litigable): after
+ * eight consecutive rounds failed the same truth by widening a grammar
+ * predicate and shipping a fresh shape outside the new width, the operator
+ * chose deletion over correction. No client-authored byte is ever an input
+ * to a boundary decision, by construction. Every markdown-grammar predicate
+ * and the absorb heuristic that consumed them are deleted outright — not
+ * narrowed, not widened, not replaced with a broader regular expression.
+ * Boundary decisions are now made at exactly two levels, both tool-authored:
+ * the `### PR-` finding split is the OUTER boundary (`isFindingHeading`,
+ * unconditional, never guessed); and the exact standalone marker literals
+ * are the INNER boundary (`isStandaloneOpener`, `isStandaloneCloser` — a
+ * line that STARTS WITH a marker, never a line that merely mentions one). A
+ * predicate that must recognise "every way a section can begin" can always
+ * be narrower than its domain; a predicate that recognises "this exact
+ * literal the tool emitted" cannot — this is why round 9 removes the class
+ * of predicate that failed, rather than widening it a ninth time.
+ *
+ * Round 10 (this module, 27-53/27-55): the residual inventory, complete and
+ * exact — every silence this round leaves open, one entry each, and nothing
+ * else:
+ *
+ *   - A trailing section carrying a standalone closer plus a following
+ *     `**File:**` line is shape-identical to a legitimate excerpt tail at
+ *     the decision point and is absorbed — unchanged and unclaimed since
+ *     round 6 (T-27-R6-06). Pinned by
+ *     `known-gap-round6-forged-finding-tail-in-an-absorbed-section-stays-silent`
+ *     and its depth-independent three-hash twin
+ *     `known-gap-round7-three-hash-forged-finding-tail-in-an-absorbed-section-stays-silent`.
+ *   - A pre-heading run carrying neither a finding heading nor an Asks
+ *     label stays silent — it is section preamble, not a finding, and this
+ *     is the shape round 10 (27-53) named. Pinned by
+ *     `known-gap-round10-pre-heading-run-with-neither-heading-nor-asks-label-stays-silent`.
+ *
+ * A separate, narrower question — what the mechanical construction audit
+ * (`eslint-rules/practices-boundary-inputs.cjs`) does not itself cover — is
+ * documented in that file's own header, not restated here, so each document
+ * makes only the claim it can support.
+ *
+ * The bounded form this round certifies: the construction property holds —
+ * no client-authored byte is an input to a boundary decision; every unit
+ * the outer split can produce reaches this same six-proof certifier, and
+ * recognition never depends on the parse state being judged; and every
+ * remaining silence is on the list above. Over-reporting is the accepted
+ * direction — this module is advisory (ROADMAP SC2). An unlisted silence is
+ * the only defect.
+ *
+ * ## Reuses (no new runtime dependency)
+ *
+ * None. This module needs no imports at all — it is pure string processing
+ * over already-materialized text, mirroring `src/vault-practices.cts`'s
+ * `defangFenceMarkers`/`boundedFencedExcerpt` marker literals and the
+ * zero-width-space defanged form, but reimplementing no logic from that file.
+ *
+ * ADR-457 build-at-publish: this TypeScript file is the SOURCE OF TRUTH. It
+ * compiles to the git-ignored `pp-core/bin/lib/practices-review-check.cjs`;
+ * do NOT hand-edit the compiled output.

+ * early truncation, no discard path anywhere in this loop — and splits into

+ * heading.
+ *
+ * Round 9 (this module, 27-48): a unit's body now runs from its heading to

+ * deleted, a folded `### PR-` heading and everything after it now remain IN

+/**
+ * Walk the WHOLE document (Rule 2's scope is the whole review, not just the
+ * practices section) and return the 1-based line numbers that sit strictly
+ * INSIDE a matched external-content fence pair. A region opens ONLY on a
+ * STANDALONE opener (`isStandaloneOpener` — starts with the start marker); a
+ * mid-line mention of the start marker opens nothing, so the lines after it
+ * stay eligible for quote comparison (the reporting direction). A region
+ * closes ONLY on a STANDALONE closer (`isStandaloneCloser` — starts with the
+ * end marker); it ABORTS at the next `### PR-` finding split
+ * (`isFindingHeading`) or at end of document, whichever comes first, and an
+ * aborted region contributes nothing, leaving its content eligible for quote
+ * comparison. A mid-line mention of the end marker (CR-02) closes nothing
+ * here, exactly as it closes nothing anywhere else in this module.
+ *
+ * Two consequences follow directly, and are the whole of what replaces the
+ * deleted markdown-grammar heuristics:
+ *
+ *   - Client-authored markdown inside a matched pair — headings, rules,
+ *     comment lines, anything — is payload. It can no longer break a
+ *     region, so a well-formed excerpt's interior lines are correctly
+ *     counted as fenced. This closes round-8 WR-01 by construction, not by
+ *     adding a second preservation condition.
+ *   - An unmatched opener can blind at most the lines up to the next
+ *     `### PR-` split, never a sibling finding's content. That bound is the
+ *     whole of what replaces the deleted heuristics.
+ *
+ * NEW (round-6, WR-01, 27-REVIEW.md): a start marker whose OWN line also
+ * carries an end marker after it (an LLM-authored single-line pair) is
+ * resolved BEFORE the multi-line inner scan runs below, which starts
+ * strictly below the start marker's line and therefore can never see a
+ * same-line closer. Such a region closes on that one line with zero
+ * interior lines. The same-line end marker is searched only from a position
+ * after the start marker's own length, so a line whose end marker precedes
+ * its start marker is a different, genuinely malformed shape and is never
+ * mistaken for a matched pair. Without this, the inner scan below would run
+ * past the same-line closer to the next end marker anywhere later in the
+ * document, wrongly adding every genuinely unfenced line in between to the
