+A file whose footer names a recipe (`This skill comes from the <namespace>/<recipe> recipe`)
+is published by a recipe repository. Its Source Path points into sous's machine-wide store,
+which is read-only build input: an edit there is lost and reaches nobody. Change it upstream:

+   is finished, so an edit shows up on the next `sous build`.
+2. Edit the recipe in that working copy, raising its version (YOU MUST load
