Jsdocs

Workflow

1. Inspect the declaration, implementation, nearby JSDoc, tests, and call sites.
2. Select every applicable branch and load its reference before editing:
   • tags, modules, or links: declarations.md;
   • categories: categories.md;
   • examples: examples.md.
3. Make a focused API fix or module refinement. Preserve verified facts and valuable examples rather than rewriting mechanically.
4. For module refinement or APIs with close alternatives, audit @see links and inspect implementation and tests for concrete **Gotchas**.
5. Run pnpm jsdocs --check and every applicable root validation command.

@internal declarations and default exports are outside public JSDoc authoring. Checked files do not support exported enums or empty export declarations.

Public declarations use a multiline block with one self-contained practical description paragraph. Start functions and methods with a present-tense action; match nearby noun-family phrasing for values. Optional non-empty sections appear once in this order: **When to use**, **Details**, **Gotchas**. Separate descriptions, sections, examples, and tags with one blank line. **When to use** states a positive use case distinct from the description; reserve **Gotchas** for concrete caveats and failure modes.

The task is complete when every changed public declaration satisfies each applicable reference, the checker passes, runnable examples pass their targeted doctest, and all other applicable root checks pass or are reported as not run.
