The template job's "Clone core at the pinned ref" step reads the pin with
require('./ci/core-ref.json'), and the file has not parsed since
0678047 (2026-10-06): the "why" array lost the comma after "Before that
move:". So the job has failed on every PR since, run 15 and run 16 (#15)
included, before it reached a single check.
The local runs missed it because checkCoreApi takes the core as
`--core .core` and never reads this file. Only the CI clone step reads
it. The file now parses, and `ref` is 6890a74 as #15 set it.
