If no such line is found, it prints advice under the heading \"Advice (does not change the verdict):\" with a suggested install line that uses `--marketplace`.\n\nThe advice does not change whether the plugin passes or fails the check.\n\n**Why**\n\nPlugin authors get a ready-made install command they can paste in, so readers of the README can install the plugin in one step.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `--marketplace`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
