+Every finding that belongs to one line of the diff goes on that line instead of
+into the body. Write those to `${ANCHORS_PATH}` as a JSON array, each entry
+`{"path": "<path from the repository root>", "line": <number>, "side": "new" |
+"old", "body": "<the finding>"}`.
+`side` is `new` for a line in the head file and `old` for one only in the base
+file; `line` is that file's own line number, and it must be a line the diff
+touches, or Gitea refuses the anchor. Write the file only when there is
+something to anchor, and keep each body to the what, the why, and the how, with
+no `file:line` prefix; the line carries that.
