Assigning a new value to the exports alias does not replace module.exports. Stop inventing a default export link and definite return-shape changes for that assignment.
Validation: 22 semantic structure source tests and 49 compiled CLI/MCP acceptance tests passed. The new regression checks Node require returns an empty export object for both versions and both adapters report missing defaults without definite changes.
Remove forwarding wrappers and shadow aliases, migrate callers and verification scripts to their owners, and share one exhaustive semantic resource-bound projection.
