+ * A default export, which every convention-composed entry must have — Next
+ * renders the default and nothing else.
+ *
+ * The filename alone is not enough. `[workspaceId]/components/error/error.tsx`
+ * is named like a boundary and is not one: it exports `ErrorShell` and
+ * `ErrorState` for the thirteen real boundaries to use, and Next would reject
+ * it as a boundary for having no default. Counting it as an entry both inflated
+ * the coverage number and would have recorded a shared component in the
+ * graph-weight baseline as though it were a route.
+ *
+ * All four declaring forms count — `export default …`, `export { default } from`,
+ * `export { default, … } from`, and `export { X as default }`. `export { default
+ * as X }` does not: it re-exports someone else's default under a name and leaves
+ * the module without one. Missing a form is the dangerous direction, since the
+ * entry would drop out of the walk and skip both the registry gate and the
+ * graph-weight ratchet silently.
