+The resolver reports sixteen unresolved citations and all sixteen are expected.
+Seven are the deleted `HANDOFF-f1.md`, `HANDOFF-f2.md` and `HANDOFF-f3.md` in
+`../../NEXT.md`, which the prose around them already calls deleted. One is a
+false positive where the pattern caught `"$root/NEXT.md"` out of a shell
+variable in `web/examples/quotes.sh`. The other eight are in this file: the
+`HANDOFF-x.md` placeholders in the zone table above, and `DISCUSS.md` quoted
+bare to explain why a grep cannot verify this work. None of them is a path.
