+/**
+ * design/319 (A ticket) — the engine's system-reminder provenance MINT HOME.
+ *
+ * Every `<system-reminder>` OPEN TAG the engine authors is rendered here, carrying a per-session
+ * random provenance mark; the system prompt declares the mark's semantics (see
+ * {@link reminderMarkDeclaration}). Offline content authors (file bytes, MCP servers, web pages)
+ * never see the session's prompt or checkpoint, so a forged reminder tag embedded in their content
+ * lacks the mark and is byte-distinguishable from an engine mint — the impersonation half that the
+ * containment side (untrusted-text.ts, which NEUTRALIZES forged tags on lanes that pass through it)
+ * structurally could not cover on verbatim inlets (Read/Bash/Grep/MCP-success), where changing data
+ * bytes would corrupt the quote-back loop (Read ↔ Edit `old_string`).
+ *
+ * The module is deliberately THREE PORTS over one internal scheme constant:
+ *   - **mint** ({@link mintReminderMark}) — coin a session's mark value;
+ *   - **verify** ({@link isValidReminderMark}) — value-shape check for persisted/inherited values
+ *     (a checkpoint field, a trusted spawn channel). A value the verifier does not recognize is
+ *     RE-MINTED by the consumer, never silently reused — which is also the natural downgrade path
+ *     when the scheme itself changes generation (an old-scheme value simply stops verifying);
+ *   - **declare** ({@link reminderMarkDeclaration}) — the system-prompt declaration copy that gives
+ *     the mark its meaning to the model.
+ * plus the tag renderers ({@link openSystemReminder} / {@link mintSystemReminder}) mint sites call
+ * so no call site inlines the marking syntax.
+ *
+ * SCHEME EVOLUTION CONTRACT (ruled 2026-08-19): the marking scheme is REPLACEABLE. The current
+ * scheme is an open-tag attribute (`mark="<22-char base64url>"`), but nothing outside this module
+ * may assume that is the only possible shape — mint sites call the ports above instead of spelling
+ * the syntax, and CONSUMERS MUST ANCHOR ON METADATA, NEVER ON THE TEXT SHAPE (engine-region
+ * metadata / message flags / structured details), so a future scheme (e.g. a native provenance
+ * standard at the API layer) is a same-interface re-implementation with zero mint-site or consumer
+ * churn. Transcript locators that must read historic text tolerate BOTH the bare pre-mark form and
+ * the current form, inside metadata-delimited engine regions only.
+ *
+ * Security posture (design/319 §2): the mark is a CHANNEL BINDING against offline content authors,
+ * not a cryptographic secret — checkpoint stores, traces, and the host process all legitimately see
+ * it. It provides a byte-level judgment; whether the model honors the judgment remains model
+ * behavior (defense-in-depth, NOT a guarantee — same species as untrusted-text.ts).
