+// @evidence contracts/portability.md#os-neutral-implementation Compiler output paths and native containment checks govern writes; no shell or OS-specific output directory is assumed.
+// @evidence contracts/performance.md#efficient-algorithms Without effective transforms, native whole-program emission and authored source-map correction own output work. Otherwise one original-tree member index precedes the eligible-file loop; each file runs the ordered callback chain and builtin transforms, followed by printing/maps and any native declaration pass. AST size, callback count/work, output bytes, native path checks and declaration work govern cost; callbacks may perform additional traversals.
+// @evidence contracts/performance.md#reuse-equivalent-work Linked program hooks are latched per generation, and the existing checker/resolver serves all per-file transforms instead of constructing independent compiler programs.
+// @evidence contracts/performance.md#bound-retention-and-release-resources The invocation retains original-member references and, under noEmitOnError, all pending output text without a byte cap. Success flushes once; return ends this local ownership, not caller-held output or Program/checker lifetimes. Write failure can leave an already-written prefix; no rollback is promised.
