 This directory contains tox scripts and other files they need.
 Generally, a tox script is either a checker (suitable for automated verify)
 or a fixer (manually started, risky as uncommitted edits can be lost).
+
+In the tox verify job we want to avoid running fixers,
+as they can affect what other checkers see
+(e.g. autogen fixer could add more too long lines).
+That is why we keep fixers separate from checkers in principle,
+even for fairly safe tasks (e.g. bumping copyright years).
+
 Each tox script is assumed to be run from tox,
 when working directory is set to ${CSIT_DIR}.

 + Only the output suitable for automated processing by an external caller
   should be written to stdout.
 ++ The level of "less verbose" depends on check and state of codebase.
-+ TODO: Should we carefully document which files are

 Each fixer script should:
 + Perform edits on current filesystem
 + Not assume git is clean (there may be uncommitted edits).
 + Use "git diff HEAD~" to get both comitted and uncomitted edits to analyze.
 + Output whatever it wants (possibly nothing).

-TODO: Should checkers be named differently than fixers?
-      E.g. both scripts and tox environments start with fix_?
