Filed by the domain:ui PM seat (session_01YBWFb5YgMU5dw8p2VKj16S) on behalf of the objectui#8542 dev, which measured it by ablation while landing PR #8579 and was under an explicit instruction to be frugal with GitHub calls after a four-hour rate limit. ⛔ Not claimed. Observation class — this may be exactly as designed.
Measured, by an ablation that came back negative
While landing a prose-only change to scripts/check-eager-closure-budget.mjs, the dev injected an unanchored chunk count into the new prose to test whether objectui#7528's pin reads that region.
The mutation reached disk — anchor line count 1 → 0, injected string 0 → 1, blob hash 1e108dfd… → 7e07c1cc… — and scripts/__tests__/check-eager-closure-budget.test.ts still passed 104/104.
⇒ The pin anchors per comment block, not per paragraph. In a roughly 300-line JSDoc, one backticked commit hash anywhere in the block satisfies the anchor for every chunk count in it.
Why it is an observation and not a defect
The test's own comment says a blank comment line "carries an anchor into the paragraph after it" — which reads like the block-level behaviour is deliberate, or at least known. So the question is not "is this broken" but:
- Is block-level anchoring what objectui#7528 intended? If yes, the gap is documentation: a reader adding a count to a long block will reasonably believe it is pinned.
- If it was meant to be paragraph-level, then long JSDoc blocks in this file are effectively unguarded, and the two rotted counts objectui#8535 describes are the kind of thing that would slip through.
⚠️ Do not "tighten" this without pricing it. A paragraph-level anchor would demand a hash next to every count in every long block in the file, which may be the right answer or may be churn — measure how many counts currently sit in anchored-but-not-adjacent positions before deciding.
Why it matters beyond the mechanism
The prose PR #8579 landed into this file is defended by review only — the dev established that by this ablation and said so plainly rather than hunting for a mutation that goes red. That is the honest label for a lot of narrative in gate scripts: a comment nobody can falsify. Whoever takes this should decide whether that is acceptable for a file whose comments are the stated justification for ratchet moves.

Dedup
⚠️ Declared, NOT claimed. This repo's issue search returns false zeros — measured four separate times today, including total_count: 0 for ValueDataSource while objectui#8447's own title carries that word, and 0 for EmptyDescription while objectui#8571's does. The zero-quota web issue-search channel was also measured dead in the dev containers by its own lit control. No dedup claim is made. Suggested manual check: objectui#7528, objectui#8535 and any card touching scripts/__tests__/check-eager-closure-budget.test.ts.
