Source: task/handle-shreddit-shadow-dom (plan/steward-linker-design) — the TreeWalker only walked light DOM, so new-reddit comment bodies inside shadow roots were missed.
- collectTextNodes now walks the comment-tree root's light DOM AND recursively descends into the open shadow roots of elements within that subtree, so comment text is reached whether reddit slots it (light DOM) or encapsulates it (shadow DOM).
- Scoped to getRoot()'s comment tree (never the whole document's shadow roots); bounded by a depth cap; a no-op on old reddit (no shadow roots).
- Slotted light-DOM nodes are not double-collected (a shadow walker sees the shadow tree's own nodes, not a <slot>'s assigned light nodes); a Set de-dupes by node identity belt-and-braces.
- All existing guards preserved (inSkippable / rsl-link skip). README + AGENTS document the support.
- Limitation: CLOSED shadow roots are unreachable from a content script and stay unlinked.
