+# [DO NOT MERGE] Throwaway smoke test for codeowner-signoff-verify Check 10:
+# agentic spec-decode configs must simulate acceptance at the committed golden
+# AL from golden_al_distribution/. This script DELIBERATELY omits synthetic
+# acceptance (real rejection sampling) so the verifier should FAIL Check 10 and
+# name this file. The PR adding it will be closed without merging.
