+# Runs the same gate as local development: syntax check, the test suite, and
+# the audit. The suite runs under both Lua 5.4 (dev convenience) and LuaJIT --
+# LuaJIT is what Balatro actually embeds, so it is the one that must pass.
+# The audit step also fails if AUDIT.md was not regenerated after a
+# synergies.lua change (the committed map must match the data).
