+# NOTE (2026-08-19): the committed GIF was not produced by this tape.
+# `vhs` needs `ttyd`, and on the machine that made it Homebrew refused every
+# ffmpeg-dependent formula because a third-party tap was registered and
+# untrusted -- granting that trust is a decision about somebody's machine, not
+# a build step. The GIF was rendered instead from the bytes `commitlore demo`
+# actually printed, wrapped the way a 65-column terminal wraps them, at the
+# font, palette and framerate this tape specifies. Nothing in it was authored
+# by hand.
+#
+# This tape is kept because it is the reproducible path: with `vhs` available,
+# `vhs assets/readme/demo.tape` regenerates the GIF from the live command, and
+# a recording whose source is thrown away cannot be checked against what it
+# claims to show.
+
+# Source for assets/readme/demo.gif — regenerate with: vhs assets/readme/demo.tape
+#
+# The GIF is committed and the tape is committed beside it. A recording whose
+# source is thrown away cannot be checked against the command it claims to
+# show, and this one shows a real `commitlore demo` run: no hand-authored
+# output, no fake agent chat, nothing the CLI cannot print.
