+ * rp-connect-docs#485 removed that list (it had gone stale — the exact drift
+ * this validator exists to catch). Per-plugin enterprise status in the docs
+ * now comes from the generated connector catalog, which is built from the
+ * same connect metadata as info.csv, so it cannot drift by construction.
+ * What can still go stale is the registry itself: any entry that pins a
+ * specific plugin via `source: {kind: connect-plugin}` must name a plugin
+ * that info.csv actually marks enterprise.
+ *
+ * The check also reports what it verified, so a run with zero pinned
+ * plugins is visibly a shallow pass rather than a silent one.
