+## Highlighting boundary
+
+Repo-owned `.heml` highlighting is an HTML overlay, not a new language. Normal
+HTML highlighting owns tags, attributes, strings, comments, folding, and tag
+matching. The hemplate overlay may highlight only documented syntax tokens from
+`docs/hemplate-syntax.md`:
+
+- escaped text delimiters and expression regions: `{+` and `+}`;
+- trusted/rendered HTML delimiters and expression regions: `{+=` and `=+}`;
+- dynamic attribute prefixes such as `+class`, `+disabled`, and `+aria-label`;
+- structural directives: `h-if`, `h-for`, `h-key`, `h-match`, and `h-case`;
+- hemx facts recorded as ordinary attributes: `data-hemx-root`,
+  `data-hemx-slot`, `data-hemx-form`, `data-hemx-handle`, and other checked
+  `data-hemx-*` authoring attributes.
+
+Highlighting must not own diagnostics, completion, hover, formatting, Rust
+expression parsing, selector behavior, generated Rust facts, or build
+validation. Those remain with `hemx-build`, `hemx-lsp`, normal HTML tooling, and
+Rust tooling. Repo tests for highlighting should therefore be fixture/query tests
+for captures over these token classes; provider packaging or visual editor smoke
+is a separate release slice and cannot become syntax authority. req: diagnostics/004 req: diagnostics/008

 ## Evidence
 
-The docs already establish `.heml` as HTML plus a small overlay; this slice makes that boundary executable before writing queries.
+Done at commit `5d38d0c` follow-up and verified with `workledger check`: `docs/editor-support.md` now lists repo-owned overlay token classes, explicitly excludes diagnostics/completion/hover/formatting/Rust parsing/build validation from highlighting authority, and names fixture/query tests as the repo-owned proof boundary before provider packaging.
