-/**
- * @file Four addressings of one step must name one output, and it must be an
- * output that can actually serve the picture it is a step of.
- *
- * A step is addressed four times — warmed for a switch, its init fetched, its
- * segments fetched, and named by the page as the one now playing — and each of
- * them decided for itself which output that is. Two things made them disagree:
- *
- * 1. the answer was recorded on ONE of the three paths that give one. A step
- *    produced at another size than the one asked for is NAMED after the size it
- *    produces, so nothing could find it by the height it answers, and every
- *    later request decided again;
- * 2. what was recorded was a HEIGHT. A picture's family is gathered by the
- *    file, and one file can hold two pictures that are not interchangeable —
- *    another container, other cuts, another soundtrack — so a height cannot say
- *    which output, and a step of one container could be handed to a picture of
- *    the other.
- *
- * Both are the address of the output, recorded on every path and checked for
- * being the same material.

+/**
+ * @file Four addressings of one step must name one output, and it must be an
+ * output that can actually serve the picture it is a step of.
+ *
+ * A step is addressed four times — warmed for a switch, its init fetched, its
+ * segments fetched, and named by the page as the one now playing — and each of
+ * them decided for itself which output that is. Two things made them disagree:
+ *
+ * 1. the answer was recorded on ONE of the three paths that give one. A step
+ *    produced at another size than the one asked for is NAMED after the size it
+ *    produces, so nothing could find it by the height it answers, and every
+ *    later request decided again;
+ * 2. what was recorded was a HEIGHT. A picture's family is gathered by the
+ *    file, and one file can hold two pictures that are not interchangeable —
+ *    another container, other cuts, another soundtrack — so a height cannot say
+ *    which output, and a step of one container could be handed to a picture of
+ *    the other.
+ *
+ * Both are the address of the output, recorded on every path and checked for
+ * being the same material.
