+Note that if the fuzz test failed locally, moving the offending run's trace

 This will reproduce the failing fuzz input and yield a usable stack trace.

+## How do I add a new fuzz test?
+
+1. The easiest approach is to take one of the files in `fuzz/src/`, such as 
+`process_network_graph.rs`, and duplicate it, renaming the new file to something more 
+suitable. For the sake of example, let's call the new fuzz target we're creating 
+`my_fuzzy_experiment`.
+
+2. In the newly created file `fuzz/src/my_fuzzy_experiment.rs`, run a string substitution
+of `process_network_graph` to `my_fuzzy_experiment`, such that the three methods in the
+file are `do_test`, `my_fuzzy_experiment_test`, and `my_fuzzy_experiment_run`.
+
+3. Adjust the body (not the signature!) of `do_test` as necessary for the new fuzz test.
+
+4. In `fuzz/src/bin/gen_target.sh`, add a line reading `GEN_TEST my_fuzzy_experiment` to the 
+first group of `GEN_TEST` lines (starting in line 9).
+
+5. If your test relies on a new local crate, add that crate as a dependency to `fuzz/Cargo.toml`.
+
+6. In `fuzz/src/lib.rs`, add the line `pub mod my_fuzzy_experiment`. Additionally, if 
+you added a new crate dependency, add the `extern crate […]` import line.
+
+7. Run `fuzz/src/bin/gen_target.sh`.
+
+8. There is no step eight: happy fuzzing!
