 - In TypeScript and JavaScript, a call to a function's own parameter, like `isAvailable(f)` on a parameter typed `(f: string) => boolean` or `compare(a, b)` on a comparator parameter, no longer links to a function of the same name in another file, or to the file's own import of that name. Before, a parameter whose type or default value contained parentheses, as a function type does, wasn't recognized as one. A parameter or local stands in for an import of its name only where it is in scope, so a Promise executor's `resolve(…)` no longer links to an imported `path.resolve`, while a `resolve(file)` after the executor still does. Re-index TypeScript and JavaScript projects after upgrading.
 - In TypeScript and JavaScript, a name ending in `$`, like `syncState$`, is no longer read as a declaration of `syncState`, so a call to an imported `syncState(…)` in the same function keeps its link, and a file's own `function $()` or `const $ = …` now counts as declaring `$`.
 - In TypeScript, a type a file uses without importing it, like `Omit<T, K>`, `Record<K, V>`, the DOM's `Event`, or a generic's own `T`, no longer links to a type of that name another module of your project declares, like a local `export type Omit` or an enum member `T`: it links to the file's own type or a global one, declared in a script `.d.ts` or a `declare global` block. A type you import, write qualified (`vscode.TextDocument`), bring in with `import X = ns.X`, or name inside a `declare module` block links as before. Re-index TypeScript projects after upgrading.
+- In TypeScript React files, a type annotation no longer links to a component of the same name. When a file declares a type next to a component or value of the same name, like `type ModalRegistration` beside a `ModalRegistration` component, its annotations now link to the type while its calls still link to the component, and a type the file declares on its own, like `type Option`, or a generic's type parameter, like `<Item>`, no longer links to an `Option` or `Item` component elsewhere in the project. Before, `codegraph callers` and impact listed those annotations as uses of the component. Re-index TypeScript React projects after upgrading.
