 - A file in a `unittests/` folder, where llvm/llvm-project and google/breakpad keep their unit tests, or in a folder named like a unittest, such as `dcheck_unittest/` in google/glog, now counts as a test whatever its own name says, like LLVM's `CountCopyAndMove.h` helper. Before, such a file was taken for production code unless its name said test, and none of them were kept apart from the program the way a `tests/` folder is: search and `codegraph_explore` ranked them alongside production code, `codegraph affected` missed them, and production code linked to a unit test's own declarations, as LLVM's `Ctx` and `OpInfo` variables did to ones its unit tests declare. A folder named just `unittest/`, like CPython's `Lib/unittest/`, is still production code. Re-index projects that have such folders after upgrading.
 - `codegraph_explore` now leaves out of its answers every file that search already treats as a test or an example: a C++ `FooTest.cpp` or `foo_test.cc`, a Google `foo_unittest.cc`, anything in an LLVM-style `unittests/` folder or an `e2e/` or `testing/` folder, and a project's `examples/`, `samples/` and `benchmarks/`. Before, explore went by a shorter list of its own, so a unit test or an example that called the code you asked about could take a place in the answer meant for that code: in protocolbuffers/protobuf, a question about `DescriptorPool` came back with three of its unit tests. The same files are no longer taken for a project's main routes file either, such as an end-to-end suite's mock server. No re-index is needed.
 - `codegraph sync` and the file watcher now link a file to a module it imports under a name of its own when the module is added after the file was indexed, comes back after being deleted, or gets the export in a later edit: a default import like `import tagsController from './tag/tag.controller'`, a namespace import like `import * as api from './api'`, or an aliased one like `import { Component as GroupsPageWrapper } from './groups_page'`, in JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, Svelte and Astro. Before, the import and every use of the name, such as a call, `new`, a base class, a JSX or template tag or an Express `app.use` mount, stayed unlinked until the importing file changed or the project was re-indexed, so the module looked unused and `codegraph affected` missed the files that use it. Re-index after upgrading to pick up links an earlier version missed.
+- `codegraph sync` and the file watcher now also link a call or read on a name a file imports, like `NODE_PATH_EXCLUDELIST.includes(path)` after `import { NODE_PATH_EXCLUDELIST } from './constants'`, `store.get(key)` through a default import or `api.get()` through a namespace import, when the module gets the export in a later edit, is added after the importing file was indexed, or comes back after being deleted, in JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, Svelte and Astro. Before, such a call stayed unlinked until the importing file changed or the project was re-indexed, because sync looked it up only by its method's name, which the module seldom declares, and skipped a name as common as `includes`, `get` or `map` altogether. Re-index after upgrading to pick up links an earlier version missed.
 - `codegraph sync` and the file watcher now do the same for a Python import under a name of its own, like `from .models import User as UserModel`, `from . import helpers as h` or `from app.pkg import sub as subpkg`: when the module or package is added after the importing file was indexed, comes back after being deleted, or gets the imported name in a later edit, the import and every use of the alias, such as a call, a base class or the class passed as a value, now link to it. Before, they stayed unlinked until the importing file changed or the project was re-indexed. Re-index Python projects after upgrading to pick up links an earlier version missed.
 - `codegraph sync` and the file watcher now also link a Python import of a name a package re-exports, like `from fastapi import FastAPI` through `fastapi/__init__.py`, when that `__init__.py` is added after the importing files were indexed or gains the re-export in a later edit. Before, calls through the name stayed unlinked until each importing file changed or the project was re-indexed. Large projects gain the most: sync also used to skip, in any language, a module or package that more than 500 references were waiting for, and now restoring Django's `django/urls/__init__.py` relinks every file that imports `path` from it. Re-index Python projects after upgrading to pick up links an earlier version missed.
 - `codegraph sync` and the file watcher now update the files that import through a module that re-exports what it imports, like a package's `__init__.py` or an `index.ts` barrel, when that module is deleted or added, and in Python also the files that reach it through another package re-exporting it. Before, deleting `shop/__init__.py` left every `from shop import Order` linked to the class it re-exported, and deleting `components/index.ts` left every `import { Button } from './components'` linked, until each importing file changed or the project was re-indexed. When such a module came back, the imports stayed linked the way they were while it was missing, and in a large Python project an import of a module whose name is as common as `models` or `test`, like `from django.test import TestCase`, stayed unlinked. Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, Svelte and Astro.

+ * A sync links a member reference through an import binding once the module
+ * appears.
+ *
+ * `NODE_PATH_EXCLUDELIST.includes(p)` after `import { NODE_PATH_EXCLUDELIST }
+ * from './constants'` links the constant through the import, as do
+ * `store.get(k)` through a default import, `useStore.setState()` through an
+ * aliased one and `api.get()` through a namespace import. A reference that
+ * failed to resolve is parked under its tail (#1240), and a member's tail is
+ * the member's name: `includes`, `get`, `setState`. The module that appears
+ * later seldom declares that name, and one that common is shared by more
+ * failed references than the retry's ceiling, so the retry never looked. So a
+ * module added after its importers were indexed, one restored after a delete,
+ * or one that gained its export in a later edit stayed unlinked from those
+ * calls until each importer changed or the project was indexed again.
+ *
+ * Such a reference is now parked under its module's key, as #2450 parks a
+ * whole name through a default, namespace or aliased binding, and is still
+ * found by its member's name — a namespace import's barrel forwards the member
+ * from another file, a guess by name links a receiver whose module never
+ * resolves, a router's navigation retry looks calls up by method — and by its
+ * receiver's: a barrel forwards the binding's declaration from a file of
+ * another name. Only a direct member is: a chain (`CONFIG.load().then`) or a
+ * longer path (`CONFIG.api.fetch`) keeps its member's name, as what its last
+ * member hangs off is seldom a type the module declares.

+ * The tail a reference that failed to resolve is parked under when it goes
+ * through an import binding the module's key finds and its own tail does not:
+ *  - the binding's whole name, when the module it imports does not declare it
+ *    by that name: a default import (`import tagsController from
+ *    './tag/tag.controller'`, a CommonJS `require`), a namespace import, or an
+ *    aliased one (`import { Component as Wrapper }`, `{ default as X }`) — the
+ *    import itself, a call, `new`, a JSX tag, a value. Its own name, the
+ *    default tail, is one the module never declares. A sync still looks it up
+ *    by that name as well: a binding its module never resolves is linked by
+ *    the name alone.
+ *  - a direct member of any binding, a named import's included
+ *    (`NODE_PATH_EXCLUDELIST.includes(p)`, `store.get(k)`, `NS.make()`). It
+ *    reaches the binding's declaration, or a member of it, through the module,
+ *    and its default tail is the member's name (`includes`, `get`), which the
+ *    module seldom declares and which too many other failed refs share for the
+ *    retry to look it up. A sync still looks it up by that member's name, which
+ *    is the member a namespace import's barrel forwards or the method a guess
+ *    by name links, and by its receiver's, which a barrel's source declares.
+ *    A chain (`URI.file(p).toString()`) or a longer path
+ *    (`vscode.window.showErrorMessage`) keeps its member's name: what its last
+ *    member hangs off is what another member returns or holds, seldom a type
+ *    the module declares. Parked under the module as well, they tripled the
+ *    refs an edit of a hot module retries on vscode, and none of them resolved.
+ * Resolution reaches either through the module, so a sync's retry has to find
+ * it by the module: under the module's {@link moduleTail} ('module:tag'), the
