+// The fold above is deliberately limited to *multi-line* zero spans, and this
+// is the boundary it must not cross. Every genuinely uncovered arm the report
+// still reports is single-line and sits inside the span of some covered region
+// contributed by another artifact of the same script -- that is simply what a
+// branch arm inside an enclosing block looks like once V8's ranges are mapped
+// back. Measured on the published `e2e-coverage` artifact for run
+// 37412914368, GroupLinkStatus's `checkedAt` guard, DirectoryFreshness's
+// plural arms and RadarReports' empty-corpus arms are each enclosed exactly as
+// the drifted spans in #1079 are, so folding a zero region into a covered one
+// that contains it would erase real gaps that tests are still being written
+// for (#1094, #1097). Enclosure is therefore not evidence of drift.
+//
+// The two artifacts below put one zero region, `1:6:1:12`, against three
+// covered regions that each enclose it in a different way: `1:0:3:12` from the
+// *other* artifact (whole-span containment across artifacts), `1:0:1:12` (the
+// same line), and `1:6:3:12` (the same start column, differing end -- the
+// shape #1066 proposed keying away). It survives all three.
