What it reports

Unattributed debt marker at line {line}. Nobody owns it, so nobody will fix it. Use TODO(owner): or reference an issue such as TODO: #123.

Flagged

// TODO: wire up retries

// TODO: drain the queue before closing

Not flagged

// a TODO. Sites that build a header from dynamic data need one

/// Reviewer note: `?` used to be a TODO no-op

// TODO(fab): wire up retries

// TODO: #123 wire up retries
