The ratchet's own footer comment says stripComments has no importers — #802 gave it one, and that comment is what invites a free edit to it #1533
Description
Found while implementing #1344 (PR #1532). Out of scope there — that PR does not touch scripts/check-source-token-ratchet.mjs at all, by design — so it is filed rather than fixed as a rider.
The claim, and why it is now false
scripts/check-source-token-ratchet.mjs ends with a comment enumerating its own consumers:
// Run only when invoked directly. `anchor`, `fmt`, `BUFFER` and the ceilings
// are importable so that every figure derived from a ceiling is DERIVED by
// the test quoting it rather than transcribed beside it:
// `test/source-token-ratchet.test.ts` sizes its fixtures from
// `CEILINGS`/`BUFFER` and pins the worked table in the header above against
// `anchor()`, and `test/docs-readme-token-figures.test.ts` reads the same two
// constants to check the README banner — so a re-anchoring moves the constant
// and the copies follow.
//
// Those two suites import nothing else from here, and need nothing else: the
// stripping rule and the verdict are exercised by RUNNING this file, not by
// importing it.
Measured on main at d9fad90, there are three ES importers of this module, not two:
| Importer | Imports |
|---|---|
test/source-token-ratchet.test.ts:7 |
anchor, fmt, BUFFER, CEILINGS |
test/docs-readme-token-figures.test.ts:7 |
BUFFER, CEILINGS |
test/docs-object-term-consistency.test.ts:8 |
stripComments |
(test/script-main-guard.test.ts names the script by path only — it spawns it, it does not import it, so it is correctly outside this list.)
The third one landed with #802 as PR #1529. So both halves of the closing paragraph are now wrong: it is not two suites, and the stripping rule is exercised by importing it.
Why this is worth a card rather than a shrug
The sentence is not decoration — it is an instruction to the next maintainer about what is safe to change. It currently says stripComments has no importers and is only ever exercised by running the gate. A maintainer who believes that will change stripComments freely, and the thing that silently changes underneath them is the surface the Chinese-term guard scans — the guard standing between this repo and a drift class it has been bitten by repeatedly. A comment that misdescribes a module's consumers is at its most expensive on exactly the module whose consumers are load-bearing.
It is also the same defect class the ratchet suite exists to close, one level up: a fact about the producer, transcribed by hand beside it, with nothing holding the copy to the original.
Suggested shape (not a ruling)
- Correct the paragraph to name all three importers and what each takes, and drop the "not by importing it" claim about the stripping rule.
- Consider whether the list should be pinned rather than transcribed a second time —
test/source-token-ratchet.test.tsalready reads the gate's source as text, so an assertion that the importers named in the footer equal the files that actually import the module is available without new machinery. Worth weighing against the cost of a pin on a comment; a maintainer call, not an obvious yes.
⛔ Scope note: scripts/check-source-hygiene.mjs (#1314 / #1339) is a different gate in a different file and is not involved here.

R30 我把 #1344 从批次里踢出去,理由就是
stripComments的读耦合;R31 派发 #1344 时又明令⛔ 不许碰它。那是外部加的护栏。而这个文件的自述却在对下一个读它的人说:没人 import 我,stripping 规则只在直接运行时生效 —— 也就是「改stripComments是安全的」。⇒ 一个读了这句话、没有读过我的派发令的 agent,会正当地认为可以自由修改

派发形状
docs-object-term-consistency.test.ts依赖stripComments,使「改这个函数会改变那道守卫扫什么」成为读得到的事实。stripComments本身。派发令必须把这句写死,否则本卡会亲手造成它要防的事。d9fad90,而main此刻是ba25aae(本轮又落了两个 PR)。本卡的主题就是一段过时的自述,所以照抄一份可能过时的清单去修它,是同一个错误再犯一次。⭐ 用 grep 现导,并说明导的时点。串行

That is a better fix than the one the order asked for.

Seat post §4 note 3 says the ratchet cannot see a comment-only diff because it strips comments. True, but incomplete: the dev measured a second, independent reason —
