C-h v syntax-propertize-function contains this text:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The specified function may call `syntax-ppss' on any position
before END, but if it calls `syntax-ppss' on some
position and later modifies the buffer on some earlier position,
then it is its responsibility to call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache' to flush
the now obsolete ppss info from the cache.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But (info "(elisp) Syntax Properties") has a different view:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
It is allowed to call ‘syntax-ppss’ on any position before END.
However, it should not call ‘syntax-ppss-flush-cache’; so, it is not
allowed to call ‘syntax-ppss’ on some position and later modify the
buffer at an earlier position.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Which is the right one?
Thanks.

Good question. Stefan M added to the CCs.

Great question. Thanks for asking.

You're welcome, I'm sure.

OK, I've now updated the manual in Emacs 28 (by just copying the bit
from the doc string and tweaking it slightly).

I think the docstring is the one that's more right (especially since
there is a fair number of syntax-propertize-functions which do call
‘syntax-ppss-flush-cache’).
