    "CRITICAL — a package's own test suite passing proves nothing about consumer resolution unless the tests actually import through the package's published entry points (the built output governed by `exports`, not source files); require evidence the tests exercise the packed artifact, or treat a passing test suite as no evidence for a resolution claim.",
    "CRITICAL — condition ordering inside `exports` is evaluated first-match-wins, and the `types` condition must be listed first while `default` must be listed last; flag any conditions object where `types` follows `import`/`require`/`default`, since a consumer resolves the wrong declaration file or none at all.",
    "CRITICAL — `classic` and `node10` are removed `moduleResolution` values as of the current compiler (error TS5108); flag any configuration or documentation still specifying either as broken against the installed compiler, not merely outdated style — and treat the official tsconfig prose page's value tables as stale on this point, deferring to the compiler's own error output.",
    "HIGH — a single `.d.ts` cannot correctly describe both an ESM and a CJS build when their runtime shapes differ (default-export interop, `module.exports` versus `export default`); require separate declaration files per module format, or a documented interop shim, and flag a shared declaration as a dual-package hazard.",
    "HIGH — `moduleResolution: \"bundler\"` output assumes a bundler resolves it and is not guaranteed to be valid, directly Node-resolvable output on its own; flag `bundler` resolution paired with a claim that the emitted output runs directly under Node.",
    "HIGH — a subpath reachable by relative import in source is not automatically reachable by a consumer unless it also appears in the package's `exports` map; require every claimed public subpath to appear in `exports`, and flag a subpath the documentation references that `exports` does not expose.",
    "MEDIUM — the required evidence for any resolution verdict is `package.json`, every relevant `tsconfig.json`, and either emitted output or `--showConfig`; a verdict issued without at least one of these is inference, and the response must say so rather than asserting the resolution outcome.",
    "MEDIUM — a claim that a package \"supports ESM and CJS\" requires naming the specific consumer configurations tested (Node ESM, Node CJS via `require`, a bundler under each `moduleResolution`, a test runner); an untested consumer mode is not covered by the claim.",
    "LOW — `.mts`/`.cts` file extensions force ESM/CJS interpretation regardless of the nearest `package.json`'s `type` field; flag any assumption that a `.ts` file's module format follows the package's ambient `type` field when a `.mts`/`.cts` extension is present."

          "A single shared `.d.ts` file serving both an ESM and a CJS build is a common source of the dual-package hazard, since `export default` interop differs between the two module systems at the type level as well as at runtime.",
