+"""#2330 -- the MPTCP Option Subtypes table cites the RFC that defines it.
+
+:class:`~pcapkit.const.tcp.mp_tcp_option.MPTCPOption` is generated from IANA's
+"MPTCP Option Subtypes" registry, whose own reference is
+``<xref type="rfc" data="rfc8684"/>``: RFC 8684 specifies MPTCP v1 and
+obsoletes the experimental v0 of RFC 6824, which the registry's note mentions
+only to point at for the v0 subtypes. Every assigned record in the registry
+carries an ``rfc8684`` spec -- the ``0x9-0xe`` *Unassigned* range carries an
+empty ``<spec/>`` and renders no member at all -- so every member comment the
+crawler renders cites RFC 8684, with a ``#section-...`` anchor wherever the
+record's spec names a section and without one for ``Reserved_for_Private_Use``
+(``0xf``), whose spec is a bare ``<xref type="rfc" data="rfc8684"/>``. The
+option kind that carries these subtypes cites RFC 8684 too --
+:attr:`Option.Multipath_TCP <pcapkit.const.tcp.option.Option.Multipath_TCP>`,
+kind 30, which is what IANA's "TCP Option Kind Numbers" registry gives for it.
+The class docstring, however, cited RFC 6824, in the crawler's template
+(:file:`pcapkit/vendor/tcp/mp_tcp_option.py`) and in the generated module
+alike, naming an obsoleted document as the authority for a table none of whose
+entries come from it.
+
+The assertions are the invariants that defect broke, rather than the one string
+that was wrong:
+
+* the class docstring names the registry's own reference, and names nothing
+  else, so the table's attribution cannot sit on a document its entries do not
+  come from
+  (:meth:`MPTCPOptionCitationTests.test_the_class_docstring_cites_the_registrys_rfc`);
+* no citation anywhere in the generated table reaches back to the obsoleted v0
+  document, which is what a partial regeneration would reintroduce
+  (:meth:`MPTCPOptionCitationTests.test_the_table_cites_no_obsoleted_rfc`).
+  This is deliberately not a pin on *every* role equalling RFC 8684: RFC 8684
+  section 7.2 puts future assignments to this registry under Standards Action,
+  "a reference to its specification" each, so a legitimate future subtype would
+  add a citation to some other RFC;
+* the crawler's template and the module it generates carry that citation
+  identically, since the generator rewrites the module from the template and a
+  fix to one alone would be undone by the next Vendor Update
+  (:meth:`MPTCPOptionCitationTests.test_the_template_and_the_module_agree`);
+* the parser's subtype-agnostic citations name the registry's RFC as well
+  (:meth:`MPTCPOptionCitationTests.test_the_option_kind_map_cites_the_registrys_rfc`
+  and
+  :meth:`MPTCPOptionCitationTests.test_the_generic_mptcp_figure_cites_the_registrys_rfc`),
+  for the reason the next paragraph gives.
+
+:mod:`pcapkit.protocols.transport.tcp` carried the same defect, corrected
+alongside the table: the option-kind map's comment against
+``Option.Multipath_TCP``, which attributes the kind rather than any subtype's
+layout, and the ``Structure of MP-TCP`` figure in ``TCP._read_mode_mp``, which
+draws the subtype-agnostic option header that RFC 8684 figure 3 and RFC 6824
+figure 3 draw identically. Neither states anything v0-specific, so neither had
+reason to name the obsoleted document. The RFC 6824 citations that *remain* in
+that module and its schemas are deliberate and out of scope: those document the
+legacy v0 layouts the parsers still accept -- the ADD_ADDR ``IPVer`` nibble,
+which RFC 8684 redraws as reserved bits and ``E``, and the 4-octet MP_PRIO
+``AddrID`` form, which RFC 8684 section 5 removed -- which is a claim about the
+wire rather than about this registry. The assertions above therefore read the
+map entry and the docstring each name, never the whole module.
+
+Every assertion here fails on the parent commit except
+:meth:`MPTCPOptionCitationTests.test_the_template_and_the_module_agree`, which
+passes there: the parent cites RFC 6824 in the template and in the module
+consistently, so the agreement check catches only a fix applied to one side of
+the pair.
+
+The crawler is read as source rather than imported, so this runs on the legs
+where the ``vendor`` extra is absent: that extra is installed by the
+``project-tests`` and ``gate`` jobs, and by the ``test`` and ``integration``
+jobs only on their latest-interpreter cell.
