Additional observations for maintainer's attention

Issue #5263 (sbyte array comparison with negative values gives wrong results) was reportedly fixed in 2018 via PR #5267 but analysis of the ComparersRegression.fs test data strongly suggests the bug (unsigned comparison instead of signed) is still present — the test expected values match unsigned/byte comparison semantics, not signed sbyte semantics (e.g., test expects [|127y|] < [|-128y|] = true, which is correct for unsigned but wrong for signed).

Future Work for Repo Assist

• Continue scanning pre-2023 bug issues, starting over from oldest issues (cursor reset)
• Look for more Area-VS-Editor issues to label as Windows-only
• Investigate whether sbyte array comparison doesn't work correctly with negative values #5263 sbyte array comparison bug is truly still present
