+# 1. make sure the changes have their own tests which succeed, indicating that
+#    the failures in the other files are false-positives now.
+# 2. commit your changes to ensure you can revert the changes by this script!!
+# 3. run the tests with `make test`, to generate all the '*.generated.json' files.
+# 4. run this script to copy the generated files over the expected files.
+# 5. run the tests again with `make test` to verify that the expected files are
