+# Integration prechecks
+#
+# - Header templates: Check that header.html files exist in expected locations.
+#   If these files are missing, then the upstream repo may have reorganized the
+#   templates. The integrate rule will copy the integrated docs header, but that
+#   header may not end up being used in the built documentation.
+# - Configuration files: Check that `conf.py` files exist in expected locations.
+#   If the configuration files are missing, then they may have been moved, and
+#   appending `add_conf.py` with `>>` may create new `conf.py` files that will
+#   not be used by the upstream configuration.
+# - MicroOVN tag: The integrated docs use the circle of friends logo by
+#   overwriting the MicroOVN logo. Check that the MicroOVN logo is located where
+#   expected.
+# - SEO noindex tags:
+#     - LXD: verify upstream `base.html`, with `seo_noindex` check and `noindex`
+#       tag
+#     - MicroCeph: verify that there is no `base.html` file in the upstream docs
+#     - MicroOVN: verify upstream base.html file, that extends furo and does not
+#       already have an extrahead block
