+# People who are freshly `pip install`ing from PyPI will pull in the latest versions of
+# dependencies which match the broad requirements. Since most CI runs are against
+# the locked poetry environment, run specifically against the latest dependencies to
+# know if there's an upcoming breaking change.
+#
+# As an overview this workflow:
+# - checks out develop,
+# - installs from source, pulling in the dependencies like a fresh `pip install` would, and 
+# - runs mypy and test suites in that checkout.
+#
+# Based on the twisted trunk CI job.
