Additional information about the issue

I tried to make this work by pushing an empty verbatim mapping to the start of the virtual content, like below. The virtual content may start with '// @ts-check\n'. In this case, the mapping is placed after that comment.

  /** @satisfies {SpanMapFeature.AutoInsert} */ (131_072)
])
