## Title

    Annotate the parameter as readonly, or leave positional parameters untyped and document only the new option

## Body

    Two fixes, chosen by intent.
    
    **If the goal is documentation, keep it type-neutral.** Document the new option in the `@param` for the options object only, and annotate the pre-existing positional parameters as `any` (or omit them, though a partial `@param` list is its own hazard). A comment can then carry the explanation without changing what compiles. Recording *why* they are untyped in the comment itself stops the next person re-introducing it.
    
    **If the goal is real typing, make it readonly.** `@param {readonly any[]}` or `@param {ReadonlyArray<T>}` accepts both frozen and mutable arrays, and is the honest type for a parameter the function does not mutate. Expect a second round: narrowing a parameter often narrows the inferred return type too, which can break a consumer that was receiving `any`.
    
    Either way the load-bearing habit is to run the project's full type-check after a JSDoc change, because a unit suite that imports modules directly will not compile the call sites.
