+"""DEPRECATED shim — use ``cyclone reissue-claims`` instead.
+
+This script previously hosted the operator's one-shot workflow for
+rebuilding the 2026-07-08 dzinesco July-8 batches into 358 IG-correct
+single-claim X12 files. The workflow now lives in
+:mod:`cyclone.reissue` and is exposed as the Click subcommand
+``cyclone reissue-claims``. See
+``docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-08-cyclone-reissue-claims-design.md``
+for the SP24 rationale.
+
+Behavior preserved: ``python scripts/reissue_claims.py --help``
+shows the canonical ``cyclone --help`` group help (then ``reissue-claims
+--help`` follows the same Click flow as ``cyclone reissue-claims --help``).
+A ``DeprecationWarning`` is emitted at import time so the operator's
+tests / cron jobs catch the migration.
