+/**
+ * U8 (B5 from PR #1693 review) — TS capture ancestor-walk regression coverage.
+ *
+ * PR #1693 rewrote `emitTsScopeCaptures` to walk from each captured node's
+ * own subtree (`findSelfOrAncestorOfType[s]` + `pickFirstNode`) instead of
+ * re-scanning the whole AST from the root via `findNodeAtRange`. Lane 4 of
+ * the production-readiness review proved the new path is semantically
+ * equivalent to the prior range-based lookup for every anchor the TS
+ * query emits — but the existing `typescript-captures.test.ts` doesn't
+ * pin the specific sharp edges that an over-aggressive ancestor walk
+ * would break. This file does.
+ *
+ * Each test exercises a capture class whose anchor type is one the
+ * rewrite explicitly handles: `call_expression`, `new_expression`,
+ * `import_statement` / `export_statement`, `call_expression` with
+ * `import` (dynamic), and the JSX-anchored `@reference.call.*` form
+ * that must NOT synthesize an outer call. Assertions are exact `.toBe(N)`
+ * per DoD §2.7.
