+ * IT NO LONGER DECIDES "IS THIS A TYPE MEMBER?" FOR ITSELF (#10901). It used to run over
+ * raw text through NEITHER of #10500's discriminators while the recognizer read through
+ * both, so a literal-union `route: "GET /a" | "GET /b"` TYPE member — the identical shape
+ * #10793 kept out of `rows`, written in either of the two quotes this scan reads — was
+ * billed as a value the parse FAILED to read. That is a verdict, not a number: the entry
+ * is NAMED with its line and `bridgeCoverageFrom` raises a PARTIAL read with exit 1, on a
+ * ledger that is completely accurate. Measured on the tree this landed on, one file
+ * declaring ONE row:
+ *
+ *     export interface Entry { route: "GET /api/v1/gone" | "GET /api/v1/meta"; client: string }
+ *     export const L = [
+ *       { route: 'GET /api/v1/meta', family: 'metadata', disposition: 'sdk', client: 'meta.getTypes' },
+ *     ];
+ *   ⇒ rows 1 · routesDeclared 2 · declined 1 · brokenScan 1   (backtick: identical)
+ *
+ * So the region list arrives as a PARAMETER, from the one caller that already computes it,
+ * and there is no default: a call site that forgot the discriminator would silently
+ * reintroduce exactly the second opinion this closes, and the file argues twice that two
+ * scans each deciding "in code position" separately are two scans that can drift into
+ * disagreeing while both look right. `offset` is the absolute position of `s` in the file,
+ * so the translation between the in-window slice's coordinates and the region list's
+ * happens HERE, once, instead of at one of the two call sites — the returned `index` is
+ * absolute for both.
+ *
+ * ⛔ THE OTHER DISCRIMINATOR IS DELIBERATELY NOT APPLIED HERE. This still reads RAW bytes,
+ * so a `route: "GET /x"` written in a COMMENT is still billed as a declined row. That is
+ * #10794, closed `not planned` on the reasoning that it is the LOUD direction and has no
+ * puller — and it is not this card's to reverse. It is also not a free change of lens:
+ * `codeOnly` blanks string CONTENTS, and this scan's whole job is to quote the unread
+ * spelling back at the reader, so a masked window would name `route: ""` for every entry.
+ * `--self-test` pins that boundary in place, and a future card closing #10794 is expected
+ * to move that pin rather than to find it missing.
