Ignore tag does not work on first three exports

[Zyie]

Hi, we recently moved to using typedoc for our project PixiJS and found a weird issue.

Expected Behavior

When placing an @ignore tag on our exports we expected all the content to not show up in the documentation.

/** @ignore */
export { default as blendTemplateFrag } from './blend-modes/blend-template.frag';
/** @ignore */
export { default as blendTemplateVert } from './blend-modes/blend-template.vert';
/** @ignore */
export { default as blendTemplateWgsl } from './blend-modes/blend-template.wgsl';
/** @ignore */
export { default as hslWgsl } from './blend-modes/hsl.wgsl';
/** @ignore */
export { default as alphaFrag } from './defaults/alpha/alpha.frag';

Actual Behavior

When placing an @ignore tag the first 3 items still appear in the documentation. This is still persistent even if the order of the exports are changed around

Steps to reproduce the bug

• https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs
• run npm i, npm run docs
• docs can be found in .s3_uploads/docs
• The file with the ignore tags can be found here

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.28.4
• TypeScript version: 5.3.3
• Node.js version: 20.19.1
• OS: macOS 15.5

Minimal repro:

// txt.d.ts
declare module '*.txt' {
    const shader: 'string';

    export default shader;
}

// index.ts
/** @ignore */
export { default as first } from "test.txt"
/** @ignore */
export { default as second } from "test.txt"

export const third = "not ignored"

Ah, this is mostly behaving as intended... if you change the @ignore comment to just some text and convert, you'll see that the documentation includes a variable first, and a reference second -> first.

As of #1901 (0.23, long time now!), TypeDoc only checks export declaration comments for modules and references to avoid inconsistencies about how it would work for functions, which are very special as param comments wouldn't be overridden due to how comment discovery works, that's probably mostly fixable, but I'm loath to complicate the function comment handling code more than it already is...

Apparently wildcard ambient modules are really weird as well, the symbol that TS gives to TypeDoc when resolving the alias points to an unknown symbol without any declarations... I might be missing something there, but am out of time for TypeDoc this week. Unfortunately, this means that it isn't possible to toss an @ignore within the declare module to ignore it that way either.... no good easy answers here that I'm seeing.

After thinking about this some more, I've decided to allow all comments on the export specifier if the source symbol does not have a documentation comment. This side-steps the function comment issue that prevented this from happening when reviewing #1901 while making your @ignore comments work as expected.
