 Requires Go 1.27.1 or newer. The module imports only the standard library.
 
+The module is public and resolves through proxy.golang.org and sum.golang.org
+like any other; no GOPROXY or GOPRIVATE setup is needed to fetch it. A machine
+that sets `GOPRIVATE=sourcedock.dev` fetches directly from the forge instead,
+which skips the proxy and the checksum database.
