+## [0.24.10] - 2026-07-30
+
+### Fixed
+- Symbol-level AST diff no longer marks an unchanged declaration as changed when a *neighboring* declaration is edited or removed. Each symbol's body text was extracted starting at `stmt.Pos()`, which in the TS AST includes the symbol's **leading trivia** (the preceding comments and blank lines). Deleting a sibling — or otherwise changing what comes before a symbol — re-attaches the intervening comment (e.g. a `// SECTION` header) to the next symbol, so its extracted body differed between the old and new versions and it was reported as a runtime change. That false "change" then spread through the intra-file reference graph and out via the library's exports, over-tainting downstream consumers. Symbol start lines are now taken from the first real token (`scanner.SkipTrivia`), excluding leading comments/blank lines from the compared body. Example: removing three unused `createSelector` exports from `bootstrap_selector.ts` previously tainted nine untouched sibling selectors (and everything reachable from them); it now taints none.
