-// As this directory implements the pattern for tracking tool dependencies as documented here:
-// https://go.dev/wiki/Modules#how-can-i-track-tool-dependencies-for-a-module, it doesn't
-// contain any valid go source code in the directory directly. This would break scripts for
-// unit testing, golangci-lint, and coverage calculation.
-//
-// Thus, to ensure tools to run normally, we've added this empty file.
