+    //     is read by nothing after it.

+    //     node box, a group rect, or the edge's segment list, all of which are
+    //     rects or segments by the time this pass runs — and scored by the same
+    //     overlap function against `placed`, `obst`, `arrowBox` and `edgeSegs`.
+    //  3. A LEADER LINE is drawn ONLY when the box could not be placed adjacent
+    //     to its carrier. This is where attachment-by-syntax pays off twice:
+    //     the carrier is known from the line, so the PREFERRED position is
+    //     always adjacency and the leader is a fallback the engine reaches for

+    //     placement, so it is correct by construction — the property `SELF-EDGE-DRAWING`/`EDGE-BEND-RETENTION`
+    //     already records for arrowheads.
