❌ escodegen.generate on Babel AST → Babel adds non-ESTree nodes; strip them first
❌ comment: false → all comments lost in round-trip
❌ Mutating raw node.loc values → code generation uses loc for source maps; corruption
❌ compact: true in a codemod → diffs become unreadable one-liners
❌ Manual AST missing 'raw' field on Literal → some generators produce undefined
❌ sourceMap: 'filename' must match the original filename exactly or stack traces break
