A new meta-repo audit trigger resolves every sibling-ecosystem pkg::fn
reference against that package's committed sources, and reports one naming a
function that exists nowhere. This NEWS entry names thinr::is_border_4() --
correctly, because the entry exists to record that it was removed from
src/thinr_common.h.

This is the canonical waiver case the meta CLAUDE.md describes: naming the
problem IS the fix, so the line carries a token rather than being reworded.
Rewording it to dodge the pattern would delete the only record of what was
removed, which is the entry's whole purpose.

The token goes on the line ABOVE, the position the check supports for exactly
this reason: the reference sits mid-sentence in a wrapped bullet, and an
inline HTML comment would break the bullet.

A path escape was considered and rejected. The meta CLAUDE.md says the one
existing path escape, REVIEW-*.md, "is not a precedent" -- and a NEWS.md
exemption would silence every future false claim in this file, not this one
true one.
