+ *    entries with each other as before, and an injected tree hashes apart from
+ *    all of them in both directions, with no flag to remember. The marker holds
+ *    the sha and the injection time, so two injections never share one either.
+ *  - The path is LITERAL because turbo does not expand a wildcard inside
+ *    `node_modules`: a glob over the virtual store hashes nothing, silently. The
+ *    root link exists because the root manifest declares the spec; the consumer
+ *    proof below requires it to resolve to a marked copy, and `inject` says so
+ *    out loud when there is no root link to hash.
+ *  - The marker lives INSIDE the replaced copy, so it cannot outlive the
+ *    injection: `pnpm install --force` or a fresh install replaces that
+ *    directory, and the tree hashes as installed again. A plain `pnpm install`
+ *    leaves the injection and its marker both in place.
+ *
+ * A local reproduction is therefore `inject`, then `pnpm type-check --continue`
+ * with no flag, then `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --force` to undo it. The
