 ### Healing at Minoc
+
 In some cases, the number of files expected at minoc may be less than the number
 that actually exist there. This can occur when API requests drop, leading to an
 inconsistent state in the database. When this is seen by `scout`, the command
 offers to remedy the situation by adding the missing replicas.
