+// The invariant this file exists for is an EQUALITY, not a presence: "the child is
+// somewhere in the subtree" was true of the bug too. Before `src/slotted-children.ts` a
+// `slot="suffix"` control appended after connect stayed a direct child of the host,
+// beside the internal sections rather than inside one — still in the subtree, still
+// findable by `querySelector`, and laid out somewhere else entirely. So every assertion
+// below compares the declared placement against the appended one, box path AND index.
+//
+// The second half is DERIVED, for the reason `connect-lifecycle.spec.ts` gives about its
+// own driver: a per-widget slot spec is one more spec per widget to forget. It reads the
+// bindings back off the registered elements (`slottedChildrenOf`), so an element that
+// gains a slot enrols itself, and one that stops binding drops out of the driver visibly
+// instead of silently.
