 - In TypeScript React code, a styled-components or emotion component declared with a type argument, like `const Wrapper = styled.div<WrapperProps>` followed by its CSS, or `styled(Base)<Props>`, is now indexed as a component, as one written without a type argument already was. Before, it was indexed as a plain constant, so `codegraph callers` and impact found none of the code that renders it, and its tags could link to another file's component of the same name instead: in outline/outline, `NudeButton` and `HStack` had no callers, and `<Text>` tags linked to a different `Text` than the one each file imports. Re-index TypeScript React projects after upgrading.
 - `codegraph sync` and the file watcher now move a React Router route to its page when the router file loads that page lazily into a value of its own, like `const Docs = lazy(() => import('./pages/Docs'))` rendered by `<Route path="/docs" element={<Docs />} />`, and the page's file is added after the router was indexed, comes back after being deleted, or gets or changes its default export in a later edit. Before, the route kept pointing at the `Docs` declaration, or at the page's old component, until the router file itself changed or the project was re-indexed, unless the page's component happened to share the declaration's name. The same now holds for a `lazy: () => import('./pages/Docs')` route whose page switches its default export to another component. Re-index React projects after upgrading to correct routes an earlier version left behind.
 - `codegraph sync` and the file watcher now link a component to the JSX that renders it, like `<Team />`, when the component is added in a file with no JSX of its own, as in `export default function Team() { return null; }`. Before, the link waited for an unrelated change to a file with JSX, or for a re-index, so the new component looked unused.
-- In JavaScript and TypeScript, a default import now links to what the module's `export default` statement exports, wherever the statement sits in the file. Before, a module that declares its default, like `export default function Vans() {…}` or `export default class Store {…}`, had its default import linked to the first function it exports instead: in a React Router data-router app, where a page exports its `loader` or `action` above the page component, `import Vans, { loader as vansLoader } from './pages/Vans'` made the route `/vans` and every use of `Vans` lead to the loader. A component file that also exports a styled or memoized component no longer hands its default import to that component, and an anonymous default, like `export default function () {…}` or `export default () => …`, is no longer linked to a function exported beside it or nested inside it. Re-index JavaScript and TypeScript projects after upgrading.

A module loaded with `require('./x').default` is read the same way. Re-index JavaScript and TypeScript projects after upgrading.
 - In React and Vue, a tag for a component the file imports from a package, like `<Button>` from antd, `<Typography>` from `@mui/material/Typography`, `<Link>` from react-router-dom or `<Card>` from ant-design-vue, no longer links to a component, function or class in your repository that only shares its name. Before, the tag linked to whatever the repository had by that name, so `codegraph_explore`, callers and impact followed renders that never happen: in SigNoz, antd's `<Button>` tags showed up as callers of a styled link on its 404 page, and in Material UI dashboards like mantis and berry, `<Typography>` and `<Button>` tags showed up as callers of the theme's style overrides. A package here is one that a `package.json` above the file lists and that no file in the repository answers to. A tag imported through a path alias like `components/Modal`, from a workspace package of the repository, or under a name no `package.json` lists still links as before. Re-index React and Vue projects after upgrading.
 - In React with TypeScript, a component that renders a generic component and passes it type arguments, like outline's `<PaginatedList<Document> items={…} />` or excalidraw's `<DropdownMenuItemContentRadio<"contain" | "overlap"> …>`, now links to the component it renders. Before, a tag followed by type arguments was skipped, so the generic component looked unused by the screens that render it, and `codegraph_explore`'s call paths, callers and impact stopped short of it. Re-index React projects after upgrading.
