 ## API
 
-Three entry points share the same options and result shape. Each accepts the full `ParseResult` from `yuku-parser`.
+All three entry points take the `ParseResult` returned by [`yuku-parser`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yuku-parser) and share the same options and result shape.

 Type annotations, type aliases, interfaces, and other type-only constructs are dropped. Constructs that have no clean JavaScript equivalent (`enum`, `namespace`, `import = require()`, `export =`) are reported in `errors` and elided. The output is always syntactically valid JavaScript.
 
 ## Comments
 
-The `comments` option selects which entries from `ast.comments` are emitted. The default is `"some"`, which matches the bundler convention of keeping legal banners, JSDoc, and tree-shaking annotations while dropping plain noise.
+Comments live on the AST nodes they were attached to during parsing. To preserve them, parse with `attachComments: true`:
+
+```js
+const result = parse(source, { attachComments: true });
+print(result).code;
+```
+
+The `comments` option then selects which attached comments are emitted. The default is `"some"`, which matches the bundler convention of keeping legal banners, JSDoc, and tree-shaking annotations while dropping plain noise.

+Because comments are attached to nodes, they survive AST transforms: move or replace a node and its comments come with it. See the [yuku-parser comments docs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yuku-parser#comments) for the full design rationale.
