+`test-skip`, `test-content-removal`, plus the warning-only JS/TS

 (`transient-protected-mutation`, `pristine-verification`, plus the `run` envelope).
-Some ambiguous syntactic classes deliberately remain warnings or unimplemented —
-`assertion-weakening` and `guard-removal` are reserved names with no detector, and
-`ts-any-launder` is a permanent warn — rather than being promoted to blockers
-without precision evidence.
+`test-skip` keeps the established regex coverage for diff-only inputs and non-JS
+ecosystems, while full parse-clean JS/TS BEFORE/AFTER changes also use a conservative
+TypeScript AST path for multiline member chains, statically-computable properties,
+known test-runner aliases and node:test-style option objects. Resolution is lexical
+(symbol-based), dynamic computed properties are not guessed, statically false shorthand
+options are clean, and trivia-free BEFORE/AFTER semantic identity prevents formatting-only
+rewrites from re-blocking an already-existing skip/focus.
+`assertion-weakening` ships only the AST-proven one-way subset — statically
+proven exact/structural values weakened to truthy/defined, positive exception
+specificity removed, or a pure assertion removed from the same suite-qualified
+test. It measured 12/12 true-positive fires with 0/20 false positives on the
+committed detector-specific replay and remains `warn`; `guard-removal` is still
+reserved with no detector, and `ts-any-launder` is a permanent warn.
