 - `tokens` (`RGXToken[]`): The array of RGX tokens managed by the collection. In almost all cases, use `getTokens()` instead of accessing this property directly, as it will be copied to prevent external mutation.
 - `mode` (`RGXTokenCollectionMode`): The mode of the collection, either 'union' or 'concat'. This determines how the tokens in the collection will be resolved when `toRgx()` is called.
+- `resolve() => ValidRegexString`: A convenience method that resolves this collection by calling `resolveRGXToken(this)`, returning the resolved regex string representation.
 - `toRgx() => RegExp`: A method that resolves the collection to a `RegExp` object based on the collection mode. In 'union' mode, the tokens are resolved as alternatives (using the `|` operator), while in 'concat' mode, the tokens are resolved as concatenated together. No flags are applied to the resulting `RegExp`.

+- `rgxGroupWrap` (`boolean`): Returns `true` by default. Controls whether the resolver wraps this token's resolved output in a non-capturing group. Subclasses can override this to prevent double-wrapping (e.g., when the token already wraps itself in a group).
 
 #### Methods
 - `or(...others: RGXTokenCollectionInput[]) => RGXClassUnionToken`: Creates an `RGXClassUnionToken` that represents a union (alternation) of this token with the provided others. If any of the `others` are `RGXClassUnionToken` instances, their tokens are flattened into the union rather than nested. If `this` is already an `RGXClassUnionToken`, its existing tokens are preserved and the others are appended.

 ### resolveRGXToken
 ```typescript
-function resolveRGXToken(token: RGXToken, groupWrap?: boolean): ValidRegexString
+function resolveRGXToken(token: RGXToken, groupWrap?: boolean, topLevel?: boolean): ValidRegexString
 ```
 
 Resolves an RGX token to a string. No-op tokens resolve to an empty string, literal tokens are included as-is (wrapped in a non-capturing group when `groupWrap` is `true`), native tokens are converted to strings and escaped, convertible tokens are converted using their `toRgx` method and then resolved recursively, and arrays of tokens are resolved as unions of their resolved elements (repeats removed, placed in a non-capturing group when `groupWrap` is `true`).
 
+For convertible tokens, if the token has an `rgxGroupWrap` property, that value always takes precedence. If `rgxGroupWrap` is not present, the behavior depends on whether the call is top-level: at the top level, the `groupWrap` parameter is passed through; in recursive calls, it falls back to `true` regardless of the `groupWrap` parameter. This ensures that the caller's `groupWrap` preference only affects the outermost convertible token and does not leak into deeply nested resolution.
+
 #### Parameters
   - `token` (`RGXToken`): The RGX token to resolve.
-  - `groupWrap` (`boolean`, optional): Whether to wrap literal tokens and array unions in non-capturing groups (`(?:...)`). Defaults to `true`. When `false`, literals use their raw source and array unions omit the wrapping group. The `groupWrap` preference is passed through to recursive calls for convertible tokens, but array union elements always use `groupWrap=true` internally.
+  - `groupWrap` (`boolean`, optional): Whether to wrap literal tokens and array unions in non-capturing groups (`(?:...)`). Defaults to `true`. When `false`, literals use their raw source and array unions omit the wrapping group. For convertible tokens, the token's `rgxGroupWrap` property always takes precedence; otherwise, this value is only passed through at the top level (in recursive calls it falls back to `true`). Array union elements always use `groupWrap=true` internally.
+  - `topLevel` (`boolean`, optional): Tracks whether the current call is the initial (top-level) invocation. Defaults to `true`. **Warning**: This parameter is intended for internal use by the resolver's own recursion. External callers should not set this parameter, as doing so may produce unexpected wrapping behavior.
 
 #### Returns
 - `ValidRegexString`: The resolved string representation of the RGX token. This is guaranteed to be a valid regex string, as convertible tokens are validated to only produce valid regex strings or arrays of valid regex strings.
