- * (`| Feature | Reason |`, no `Status` column) BEFORE `## Traceability` — so
- * an unscoped whole-file call targets the Out-of-Scope table instead, fails
- * with `{ok:false, reason:'unknown column: Status'}`, and the real
- * Traceability row is never flipped, while the checkbox surface still flips
- * and the command reports success (the #2140 silent-divergence class one
- * level deeper). Mirrors `editProgressHeadingSlice` below, which scopes
- * `## Progress` writes to that heading's own slice for the same reason.
- *
- * Falls back to running `updateTableCell` against the whole `text` when no
- * `## Traceability` heading exists — matching the previous (unscoped)
- * behaviour for a REQUIREMENTS.md whose traceability table sits under some
- * other heading, or with no heading at all (never worse than before this fix).

+ * independently keeps an unrelated `## Requirements Traceability` table
+ * out of its deletion scope, because that heading is not titled "Progress".
+ *
+ * The exact-title check required "progress", so a suffixed
+ * title ("## Progress (v2.1)", "### Progress (v2.0)") never engaged this

+ * heading whose title EMBEDS the active milestone's own version token
+ * ("## Progress (v2.1)", level 2, same level as the milestone heading
+ * itself) is exactly what `currentMilestoneRawRanges`' own section-end scan
+ * mistakes for a NEW milestone's heading (it stops at any heading matching
+ * `v\d+\.\d+|✅|📋|🚧`, not just a real milestone one) — ending `ranges`
+ * immediately BEFORE this heading, so it never falls inside
+ * `ranges.primary`/`.details` even once titled "Progress". A heading is
+ * never titled merely "Progress" AND is a different milestone's own
+ * section-opening heading at once, so a Progress-titled heading sitting
+ * EXACTLY at the wide range's own end boundary is still the active

- *
- * The block is the one `locateFrontmatterFence` finds (the one fence owner), so this writer
