 ### Fixes
 
+- In NestJS projects, the provider naming convention (`…Service`, `…Controller`, …) now picks a class only from the reference's own file. Another file's provider is reached through its import, or by ordinary name matching that prefers the nearest declaration. Before, the convention's preference for `*.service.ts` files sent Nest's own specs' `TransientService` and `TestService` to same-named classes in unrelated sample apps.
 - In Astro projects, the component-name convention now applies only inside `.astro` files, where components are used. Before, a TypeScript type with a component's name was linked to that component: astrowind's `image?: Image` and `callToAction?: CallToAction` in its type declarations, and starlight's Playwright `page: Page` in its tests.
 - In JavaScript and TypeScript, the Express conventions for middleware (`validate…`, `auth`, `logger`, …), controllers and services now pick only the calling file's own declaration. Another file's is reached only through an `import` or `require`. Before, SvelteKit's remote functions linked `validate(arg)` to its config loader's `validate` in another package, and Express's examples linked `logger('dev')` to one example's `logger`.
 - An Objective-C class that conforms to a protocol of its own name now links to that protocol instead of to itself. Swift's naming conventions for views, models and controllers also no longer apply to Objective-C code. Before, every one of SDWebImage's `@interface SDDiskCache : NSObject <SDDiskCache>`-style classes implemented itself.
