     the class was likely added or removed between versions.
     Then determine the comment form for each class:
-   **Positive floor class** (proves "at least version X"): look up when the class was
-   **introduced** → comment `// added in X.Y`.
-   **Positive ceiling class** (proves "not yet version Y"): look up when the class was
-   **removed** → comment `// removed in Y.Z` (meaning: its presence here ensures we
-   don't match version Y.Z+ where a different module takes over).
-   **Negated exclusion class** in `not(hasClassesNamed(...))`: look up when the class was
-   **introduced** → comment `// added in Y.Z`, because that first appearance begins the
-   excluded version range.
-   **Single positive class that provides both bounds**: include both facts in one comment,
-   e.g. `// added in X.Y, removed in Y.Z`.
-    A ceiling class might have been *introduced* much earlier than the module's target version.
-   Do not use `// added in` for a positive ceiling class — that is misleading. The relevant
-   fact is when it was **removed**. But for a negated exclusion class, `// added in` is the
-   correct form because the class's introduction is exactly what starts excluding newer versions.
-    Validate the version in the comment before adding or requesting it. Do not guess the
-    version from the module name alone; confirm it with repository or upstream evidence.
-    Sources: muzzle `versions.set(...)` ranges, sibling module `classLoaderMatcher()` checks,
-    module directory names, existing code comments, Javadoc/release notes.
-    Do NOT add a `classLoaderMatcher()` override where one does not already exist —
