+Run the fork-choice compliance suites and print a pass/fail report.
+
+USAGE
+  scripts/compliance-fc-report.sh [options] [-- cargo_args...]
+
+DATA SOURCE (first non-empty wins)
+  --dir PATH        Use a pre-extracted tree at PATH (must contain tests/).
+  --tarball PATH    Use a local .tar.gz; extracted to cache on first use.
+  --url URL         Download tarball via curl; cached + extracted.
+  --run-id ID       Pin to a consensus-specs run id; download via gh.
+  (default)         Resolve the latest successful run of the consensus-specs
+                    "Compliance Tests" workflow on master via gh.
+
+OTHER OPTIONS
+  --preset NAME     Preset: minimal or mainnet (default: minimal).
+                    Only minimal currently ships compliance data.
+  --suite NAME      Run only one suite (e.g. block_tree_test). Repeatable
+                    via comma-separated list.
+  --cache-dir PATH  Cache root (default: /var/tmp/compliance_fc_cache).
+  -h, --help        Print this help and exit.
+
+ENVIRONMENT (each flag has a matching env var; the flag wins if both are set)
+  COMPLIANCE_FC_PRESET, COMPLIANCE_FC_DIR, COMPLIANCE_FC_TARBALL,
+  COMPLIANCE_FC_URL, COMPLIANCE_FC_RUN_ID, COMPLIANCE_FC_CACHE_DIR,
+  COMPLIANCE_FC_SUITE
+  GITHUB_TOKEN      Required only for --run-id and the default auto-fetch path
+                    (GitHub Actions artifact downloads return 403 to anonymous
+                    requests, even on public repos). Use --tarball or --url to
+                    avoid the token entirely.
+
+Anything after '--' is forwarded verbatim to 'cargo test'.
+
+EXAMPLES
+  # Auto-fetch latest (needs token)
+  GITHUB_TOKEN=... scripts/compliance-fc-report.sh
+
+  # Use a manually-downloaded tarball — no token, no gh
+  scripts/compliance-fc-report.sh --tarball ~/Downloads/small.tar.gz
+
+  # Pull the artifact through a public mirror via curl — no token
+  scripts/compliance-fc-report.sh --url https://example.org/small.tar.gz

+  # Re-use an already-extracted tree
+  scripts/compliance-fc-report.sh --dir /var/tmp/compliance_fc_root
