Roche lobe overflow destruction of hot Jupiters clears all companions from the sub-Jovian desert inside ~4 days while most observed companions remain stable, unlike tidal disruption during high-eccentricity migration.
Dynamical tides exciting f-modes during high-eccentricity migration produce the hot Jupiter pile-up, Neptune ridge, and Neptune desert via orbital circularization and selective atmospheric mass loss.
TOI-5882, a lithium-enriched subgiant with a brown dwarf companion, shows enrichment consistent with engulfment of a super-Earth to Neptune-mass planet.
