+/// Property (#243): a freshly scaffolded project stamps resolvable
+/// provenance from its very first run. Outside any enclosing work tree
+/// `aura new` owns the scaffold's history, so it must leave the project with
+/// a HEAD — `git rev-parse HEAD` resolves — and the first advertised
+/// quickstart `aura run` therefore stamps a `manifest.project.commit`, rather
+/// than the empty `"project":{}` that a bare `git init` with no commit yields
+/// (a first manifest that is silently un-reproducible-by-commit). This is the
+/// property the neighbouring loop headline can only reach today via a manual
+/// `init_and_commit` on the enclosing tree.
