+      # TypeScript 7 cannot be installed here yet, and the failure is upstream

+      # range of ^5.3.3 || ^6.0.0, and svelte-check crashes on startup against
+      # the 7.x compiler API ("Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
+      # 'useCaseSensitiveFileNames')"). Without svelte-check there is no type
+      # checking at all, which is a worse trade than staying on 5.
+      #
+      # Remove this entry once @sveltejs/kit widens that peer range — at which
+      # point the bump arrives as its own PR again and can be judged normally.
