  "summary": "Adds an `AssertUnreachable()` macro to `util/check.h` that calls the noreturn `assertion_fail` helper, replacing existing `assert(false)` and `Assert(false)` calls throughout the codebase. Adds linters in the test suite to forbid falsy assertions and disallow `std::unreachable`.",
  "problem": "Assertions on falsy literals like `assert(false)` cause ambiguity about `NDEBUG` semantics, while `Assert(false)` hides `[[noreturn]]` behind a call, triggering GCC return-type warnings. Additionally, future adoption of C++23 `std::unreachable` would invite undefined behavior if reached.",
