+# Build check for pull requests.

+# Without this, nothing verifies a pull request at all -- the only other
+# workflow runs on push to the default branch, after the merge. That makes
+# dependency bumps unreviewable in practice: the PR looks green because
+# nothing is checking it.
+#
+# Actions are pinned by commit SHA rather than tag, matching the convention
+# already used elsewhere in this org and required by the zizmor audit.
+#
+# Node matches .sandcastle/Dockerfile. There is no lint step yet: `npm run
+# lint` currently crashes before reaching the code --
+# @typescript-eslint/no-unused-expressions is incompatible with the installed
+# eslint 9.15 ("Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
+# allowShortCircuit)"). Re-add the step once that pairing is resolved; a
+# Dependabot bump of either package may well fix it.
