 METHOD FindExclusive( cTableLow ) CLASS TSqlIndex
 
-   /* Pre-flight exclusive-lock detection.
-    * Originally used dbInfo(DBI_FULLPATH)/DBI_SHARED to scan open
-    * workareas for an exclusive hold on the target DBF. In Five,
-    * `dbInfo()` is stubbed (returns NIL) and the DBI_* symbols are
-    * unresolved at compile time → runtime panic the moment any
-    * workarea is Used() when this runs (standalone PRGs routinely
-    * dbUseArea before calling five_SQL, so they tripped this).
+   /* Scan all used workareas for an exclusive hold on cTableLow.
+    * Returns the conflicting workarea number, or 0 if the table
+    * is free to open.
     *
-    * The check cannot function correctly on Five regardless, so
-    * we short-circuit to 0 (= no conflict). Matches behavior of
-    * the 43-test harness which only reaches here with no Used
-    * workareas, so the net behavior is preserved.
-    *
-    * Future: when dbInfo(DBI_FULLPATH) lands in hbrtl, restore
-    * the scan. Until then use `Alias()` + filename matching if
-    * exclusive-lock preflight becomes necessary.
+    * Fully functional now that hbrtl implements dbInfo(DBI_FULLPATH)
+    * and DBI_SHARED. The DBI_* constants resolve via include/dbinfo.ch.
