 Implementation changes in `src/semgrep/scan.ss`:
 
-- Added `taint-assume-safe-comparisons?` for the Semgrep rule option
-  `taint_assume_safe_comparisons`.
-- Reused the existing comparison-safety checks for both direct comparison sinks
-  and implicit propagation from comparison expressions.
-- Kept `taint_assume_safe_booleans` as an implying option for comparison
-  safety, matching existing behavior and upstream semantics.
+- Added focused JavaScript scanners for upstream React prop-injection shapes:
+  destructured `this.props` sources, function-parameter `props` sources, and
+  `React.createElement(..., {...$PROPS...}, ...)` object-spread sinks.
+- The destructuring scanner binds each object field in
+  `const { i18n, text, attachments } = this.props`.
+- The function source scanner binds the parameter in function expressions such
+  as `function (props) { ... }`.
+- The spread sink scanner binds identifiers in object spreads such as
+  `{...props}` inside `React.createElement`.
 
 New smoke coverage in `tests/smoke.ss`:

 Likely fix area:
 
-- This is a false negative cluster around React `createElement` object
-  arguments and object spread.
-- Source side must focus:
-  - destructured `this.props` fields such as `text`
-  - function parameters such as `props`
-- Sink side must bind/focus `$PROPS` inside:
-  - `dangerouslySetInnerHTML: {__html: $PROPS}`
-  - object spread `{...$PROPS}`
-- Sanitizers at lines 45 and 52 use `dompurify.sanitize(comment)` and
-  `dompurify1.sanitize(comment)` and should remain clean.
+- This is now a false-positive issue. Jerboa reports both cross-function calls
+  (`bar(x)` in `foo`, `foo(x)` in `bar`) instead of requiring `$FUNC` from the
+  source `pattern-inside` and sink `pattern-inside` to unify.
+- The rule option `taint_unify_mvars: true` is parsed but not currently
+  enforced in taint source/sink compatibility.
+- Recommended isolation:
+  - confirm source findings carry `$FUNC` from `function $FUNC(...) { ... }`;
+  - confirm sink findings carry `$FUNC` from `$FUNC($TAINT)`;
+  - require compatible shared metavariables when the option is enabled.
