+// Quarto's HTML/RevealJS output is NOT self-contained (we deliberately dropped

+// that pandoc no longer tries to fetch referenced media, so a missing image or
+// video produces no compile-time warning — it just renders broken in the
+// browser. To restore that feedback, scan the produced output.html for local
+// media references and emit a [WARNING] for any that don't exist on disk. The
+// [WARNING] prefix is understood by the Quarto/Typst log parser on the web
+// side, so these surface in the Warnings tab like any other.
