const DECIDE =
    "a path spelled in source is a claim about a tree this package does not own — it resolves onto the " +
    "consuming project or onto nothing, differently in every consumer, and the failure surfaces as a check " +
    "that silently governs the wrong files or refuses citations that are true. Every root resolves through " +
    "the parameter surface, which computes its prefix from its own file location, so the literal becomes an " +
    "argument to a composer or a declared slot rather than a value a reader trusts";

const ENUMERATION_DECIDE =
    "a RECURSIVE enumeration rooted at a path that resolves outside the declared surface prefix lists a tree " +
    "this package does not own — in a consumer that tree is the whole host repository, including everything " +
    "its dependencies install, so the call reads correct and costs minutes rather than milliseconds and the " +
    "failure presents as a run that hangs rather than as anything a verdict reports. The discriminator is " +
    "ENUMERATION rather than the root: resolving a NAMED path through the same root walks nothing and is the " +
    "correct form, which is why the safe uses far outnumber the hazardous one and a scan for the root alone " +
    "reports mostly noise. Narrow the enumeration to the surface's own prefix and prepend it to each entry, so " +
    "the listing covers exactly what this package declares";
