-# "Affects" is the packages the diff changes, derived by gate-scope like the
-# test scope, AND every package that depends on them (`--filter=...<pkg>`),
-# since a shared package can stay type-correct itself and break a consumer.
-# `--only` keeps the verdict to those packages: without it the task graph also
-# pulls in their unchanged DEPENDENCIES through `^check-types`, and a red there
-# is somebody else's, the case the note below exists for. The builds those
-# dependencies would have supplied already ran above.
-#
-# Not turbo's `--affected`: it reads any root-level change as touching every
-# package, so a push that edits only `scripts/` would be refused over a red in
-# a package it never reached. gate-scope already knows which root files
-# redefine the graph (workspace list, task graph, root manifest, lockfile);
-# for those no package can be blamed and the repo-wide verdict is the one
-# that holds.
+# "Affects" is turbo's own answer, not a second model kept here. `--affected`
+# selects the packages whose files changed against `origin/main` (merge-base,
+# so a `main` that moved on is not read as this branch's change), every
+# package that depends on them, and every package when a GLOBAL input changed:
+# `turbo.jsonc` declares `scripts/**`, the root manifest and the lockfile as
+# reaching every task, because a root script is compiled by a workspace's
+# typecheck and a lockfile bump changes what every package compiles against.
+# CI's typecheck follows the same hashes, so a push this refuses is one CI
+# would refuse at merge. `--only` keeps the verdict to the selected packages:
+# without it the task graph also pulls in their unchanged DEPENDENCIES through
+# `^check-types`, and a red there is somebody else's, the case the note below
+# exists for. The builds those dependencies would have supplied already ran
+# above.

+# A diff that redefines the workspace or task graph (gate-scope status 2)
+# cannot be narrowed by any tool, so the repo-wide verdict is the one that
