    Requires non-interactive flags in mkhint (it has about 10 `read -p`
    prompts and wraps slackrepo at `mkhint:1798`). Also: `--no-dl` must write
    `DOWNLOAD="no"`, which slackrepo reads, instead of `NODOWNLOAD=yes`,

+   and existing hints on the VM get migrated: every `NODOWNLOAD=yes` line in
+   any hint slackrepo searches becomes `DOWNLOAD="no"` (an existing `DOWNLOAD`
+   line is replaced, since `DOWNLOAD="no"` overrides it anyway), backed up to
+   `.bak` first, idempotent. As of 2026-10-19 no hint carries the line.
 5. **Orphans**: SBo orphan discovery (`EMAIL="NOEMAIL"` in `.info`, the
    `sbo-orphans` logic from slackbuilds-superrepo), including orphaned deps
    in REQUIRES. Needs an SBo-stable tree, which is not on the VM today.
