+This checkpoint broadens the current sorted upstream sweep by adding `.jl`
+targets and a narrow Julia text-backed compatibility path. Julia is not
+parser-backed in this port yet. The added support exists to cover the seven
+current same-basename upstream Julia fixtures without claiming general Julia
 parser or AST parity.
 
-The scanner now covers the current Move fixture slice:
-
-- `move_on_aptos` language inference for `.move` targets.
-- generic text matching for `ConstructorRef` / `object` typed metavariables in
-  `$X.do_nothing(...)` calls.
-- attribute-bearing non-public function signatures, including
-  `public(friend) fun`, plain `fun`, and `entry fun`, while preserving
-  Semgrep's range that starts after `#[` and ends before the opening `{`.
-- destructuring `let Outer { ... } = f;` bindings with Semgrep-compatible
-  focus on the destructuring expression after `let`.
-- standalone `use something::pack::unsafe` members, including braced imports
-  where Semgrep's range ends at the `unsafe` token rather than the closing
-  brace or semicolon.
-- standalone `const $NAME: address = ...;` members with the semicolon included
-  in the finding range.
-- `struct` member blocks containing `Object<Subscription>` and struct
-  signatures with `has drop`.
-
-The implementation routes Move through the existing generic text matcher for
-plain cases and adds targeted Move fallbacks where Semgrep's parser ranges or
-pattern semantics are too language-specific for the generic matcher.
+The scanner now covers the current Julia fixture slice:
+
+- `julia` language inference for `.jl` targets.
+- generic text matching for Julia string literal metavariables and the current
+  `pattern-sources: "..."` taint source fixture.
+- bitwise metavariable comparison calls such as `f(1|2)`,
+  `f((1|2))`, and `f((1|2)::Int64)`, including Semgrep-compatible `$X`
+  message interpolation where singleton parens and type annotations are
+  normalized like current Semgrep.
+- simple Julia comprehension matching for `[c^2 for c in b]` under nested
+  `metavariable-pattern` clauses.
+- type-parameter range selection for `w::Vector{Vector{Int}} = ...`, where the
+  finding and `$TYPE` binding include the final closing brace.
+- typed local variable matching for `x :: Int64 = 2` followed by `foo(x)`.
+- string literal argument matching for the function parameter type fixture
+  `print_type("a")`.
+
+The implementation routes Julia through the existing generic text matcher for
+plain cases and adds targeted Julia fallbacks where Semgrep's parser ranges,
