 Nothing — this is an MCP-surface change only. The graph schema, indexer,
 and stored data are untouched.
+
+## `schemaVersion` → `schemaFingerprint` (issue #2798)
+
+The field that decides whether an existing index can be reused changed in
+`.gitnexus/gitnexus.json` (and in each `branches/<slug>/gitnexus.json`):
+`schemaVersion?: number` has been removed and `schemaFingerprint?: string`
+added. The new value is a 12-character digest of the graph DDL this build
+creates, so it *describes* the schema an index's tables were actually built
+from rather than asserting a number about it.
+
+An absent fingerprint is treated as a mismatch, and that is the whole
+backward-compatibility story: every index written by an earlier GitNexus
+carries no fingerprint, so it is rebuilt exactly once.
+
+### Do I need to migrate?
+
+**No.** There is nothing to run, edit, or pass. The first `analyze` after
+upgrading logs one line —
+
+```
+index schema changed (built by an unidentified GitNexus build, this build is <fingerprint>); forcing a full re-analyze so the database is recreated from the current schema.
+```
+
+— and then performs that full re-analyze itself. The same run stamps the
+fingerprint, and every run after it takes the normal incremental path again.
+
+### What happens on re-index?
+
+One automatic full re-analyze, once per index. Nothing else changes; the
+resulting graph is what the current build would have produced anyway.
+
+The scope of that one-time cost is worth knowing before you hit it. It is
+per **index**, not per machine or per repository — branch-scoped index slots
+(#2106) each keep their own `gitnexus.json`, so every slot pays for itself
+the first time it is analyzed after the upgrade. On a very large repository
+a full re-analyze is substantial, not a blip; plan the first post-upgrade
+run accordingly.
+
+### Why a digest instead of a version number?
+
+`schemaVersion` was hand-incremented, and it had to predict something a
+number cannot know: whether the DDL an on-disk database was created from
+matches this build's. It collided with `main` eight times, twice *exactly* —
+and an exact clash was the quiet failure. Two builds stamp the same number
+over different DDL, the strict `===` reuse gate reads the index as current,
+the `CREATE … TABLE` statements are skipped as "already exists", and edges
+whose endpoint pair the live database cannot persist are dropped. A wrong
+graph, with no error anywhere.
+
+A derived digest cannot fail that way: two builds agree exactly when their
+DDL agrees, so concurrent branches never need renumbering and a mismatch is
+always a real mismatch. The retired ladder's per-version rationale (v2
+`BasicBlock.callees` through v35's generated relation cross-product) now
+lives only in git history:
+`git show 561f913a3:gitnexus/src/storage/repo-manager.ts`.
+
+### What about rollback?
+
+Downgrading to an older GitNexus is safe. The older binary looks for
+`schemaVersion`, does not find one, treats the index as pre-versioning, and
+forces its own full rebuild — the same one-time cost in the other direction,
+never a stale or mismatched graph.
+
+### What if I alternate between an old and a new binary?
+
+Every switch forces a rebuild. The end-of-run metadata is written as a fresh
+object literal rather than merged over the previous file, so a new build's
+write drops `schemaVersion` and an old build's write drops
+`schemaFingerprint` — neither field survives the other's run, and each binary
+then finds its own gate unsatisfied. This hits anyone running a pinned
+`npx gitnexus@<version>` alongside a local build, or an editor hook still on
+an older release. It is a cost, not a correctness problem: each run rebuilds
+against its own schema, and the graph it serves is correct for the binary
+that produced it. Pin one version per index to avoid the churn.

+/**
+ * Weight-aware partitioning for the cross-platform test matrix.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS EXISTS. `run-cross-platform.ts` used to hand vitest the whole file
+ * list plus `--shard=i/n`, and vitest partitions by file COUNT. Runtime on this
+ * suite is wildly uneven — measured on the Windows runner, `cli-e2e` is 361 s
+ * and `worker-pool` 221 s, while most files are under a second — so a
+ * count-split routinely put several of the heaviest suites on one shard. That
+ * is #2449, and this file's sibling header has documented the symptom ("the
+ * heaviest spawn suites can cluster on one shard") since the watchdog was first
+ * raised from 15 to 20 minutes.
+ *
+ * It went from a latent hazard to a red matrix when three CHEAP files (the
+ * `dist/` module-load closure guards: 448 ms, 53 ms, sub-second) were added to
+ * `SPAWN_CLI`. They cost nothing to run, but a count-split re-partitions on
+ * every insertion, and the reshuffle happened to land `cli-e2e` + `cli-limit-e2e`
+ * + `analyze-heap-oom-e2e` together on shard 1/3 — 32 files against 26 and 29 —
+ * which blew the 20-minute budget with four files still queued. Nothing about
+ * the added files caused it; they were simply the perturbation.
+ *
+ * So the split is done HERE, by weight, and only the chosen shard's files are
+ * handed to vitest. Two properties follow, and both are pinned in
+ * `test/unit/cross-platform-shard.test.ts`:
+ *
+ *  - the heaviest suites are spread across shards by construction, so the
+ *    busiest shard tracks the ideal rather than the luck of the sort order;
+ *  - adding or removing a CHEAP file cannot move a heavy one, so registering a
+ *    new platform-sensitive test is no longer a CI-stability gamble. That is the
+ *    property whose absence caused this.
+ */
+
+/**
+ * Measured wall-clock on the WINDOWS runner (the slowest platform, so it is the
+ * one that decides the budget), in seconds, from the last fully-green matrix run
+ * plus the timed files of the run that failed.
+ *
+ * Only files heavy enough to matter are listed; everything else is carried by
+ * {@link PER_FILE_OVERHEAD_SEC} alone. These are load-balancing hints, NOT
+ * assertions — no
+ * test asserts a runtime, and drift only makes the split slightly less even, so
+ * a stale entry is harmless and refreshing them is optional. Deliberately not
+ * auto-generated: a committed table is reviewable and works offline, and the
+ * alternative (timing files at CI runtime to decide the split) would make the

+ * reaching the Class scope (#2807 review).
+ *
+ * `emitDartFieldAssignmentBindings` above declines to WRITE a binding for a name
+ * the body shadows, but the shadow set gated writes only. A bare-name READ of a
+ * shadowing binder the resolver cannot type — `for (final conn in xs) {

+ * walked straight past the local and hit the class field binding this same

+ * "no edge" into a WRONG edge, the one failure mode
+ * `scope-resolution/passes/compound-receiver.ts` says must never happen, and it
+ * was introduced by the write side rather than pre-existing: delete the
+ * constructor and the same read emits nothing.
+ *
+ * `ownsReceivers` is the right primitive because the walk consults
+ * `typeBindings` FIRST at every scope (`scope/walkers.ts`) and only then honours
+ * the mask. A shadow the resolver CAN type still wins — an annotated parameter
+ * `void probe(Beta conn)` keeps `Beta`, because
+ * `synthesizeDartSignatureBindings` anchors parameter bindings on this same
+ * body node, so they land on this same Function scope. The mask only fires
+ * where the alternative was a fabricated type.
+ *
+ * ── SCOPE OF THE MASK, AND ITS ACCEPTED COSTS ────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * `shadows ∩ fields`, and nothing wider. Three consequences are taken knowingly
+ * rather than hidden:
+ *
+ *  1. NOT every locally bound name is masked — only ones the enclosing class
+ *     also declares as a field. A library-level `var logger = Logger();`
+ *     shadowed by a loop variable of the same name still resolves against the
+ *     library binding and can still produce the wrong edge. That is the general
+ *     form of the same defect and arguably the more correct fix, but it changes
+ *     resolution for code this feature never touched; it is recorded here as a
+ *     known limitation rather than implemented.
+ *  2. The mask is BODY-WIDE, exactly as `collectDartBodyShadows` is on the write
+ *     side. A member that binds `conn` anywhere — a nested closure, one `case`
+ *     arm — masks `conn` for the whole member, so a read of the genuine field
+ *     elsewhere in that member loses its edge. Deliberate symmetry: the write
+ *     side already declines body-wide, and losing an edge is the error this
+ *     whole line of work chooses over inventing one.
+ *  3. `fields` is EVERY field the class declares, not only the ones the
+ *     constructor-write feature types. An ANNOTATED field shadowed by a binder
+ *     is masked too, so this reaches resolution that predates #2807 — and it is
+ *     meant to: which name a body's bare read refers to is a fact about Dart, not
+ *     about how the field acquired its type. `mixin` bodies are reached for the
+ *     same reason (the grammar gives a mixin a `class_body` as well), even though
+ *     `emitDartFieldAssignmentBindings` mints nothing for them. `extension`
+ *     bodies are a different node (`extension_body`) and are left alone.
+ *
+ * Returns `undefined` — not an empty marker — when nothing is masked, so the

+ * fabricating an edge and displacing the type the constructor had correctly
+ * given it. Formal parameters are the sharpest case because they are not even
+ * inside the body: `function_body` is a SIBLING of the `method_signature` that
+ * carries them, so no walk of the body can ever see one.

+ * `if (o case Beta r)`, `case Beta r:`, `for (var (r, _) in xs)`, list / map /
+ * object / rest / cast / null-check / null-assert patterns and pattern
+ * assignments all bind `r` through node types no earlier list named, so each of
+ * them let a write retype the field. `addDartBinderName` now enumerates the
+ * pattern family from the grammar rather than from reported shapes.
+ *
+ * Deliberately over-approximate in the shadow direction. The set is body-wide
+ * (a binder in a nested closure, a `case` arm or a collection-literal element
+ * shadows for the whole body), a parameter shape whose name cannot be read
+ * contributes nothing rather than being guessed at, and a bare name inside a
+ * pattern shadows whether it binds or merely references a constant. All err
+ * toward DECLINING to bind, which is the right error: a missed field type costs

+    // of their own and inline their children onto whichever visible pattern node
+    // encloses them. Reading direct children is therefore what actually sees a
+    // binder; there is no field to ask for (`variable_pattern`,
+    // `pattern_variable_declaration` and `constant_pattern` declare none).
+    //
+    // The first two are where a binder truly lands, and are alone sufficient:
+    //   `variable_pattern` — `Beta s` / `final s` / `var s`.
+    //   `constant_pattern` — a BARE name (`(s, n)`, `[s, t]`, `{'k': s}`,
+    //      `Point(:s)`, `...s`, `(s)`). Dart itself decides bare-name-binds-vs-
+    //      references-a-constant from the enclosing `final`/`var`, and
+    //      tree-sitter gives both the same node, so `case kLimit:` shadows too.
+    //      Over-shadowing a constant reference costs an edge; the other
+    //      direction fabricates one.
+    // The containers after them are DEFENCE, not routing — the walk reaches
+    // nested patterns on its own. They matter because the hidden `_pattern_field`
+    // already drops a NON-binder label identifier straight onto `record_pattern`
+    // / `object_pattern` (and a key onto `map_pattern`), which is proof that this
+    // grammar inlines identifiers onto containers. If a grammar revision ever

+ *
+ * BARE NAMES ONLY. A dotted callee (`models.User()`, `f.Alpha()`) is refused.
+ * The first cut of #2807 returned the callee's full dotted text, on the theory
+ * that a dotted name resolves through `QualifiedNameIndex` the way the
+ * module-level `u = models.User()` capture in `query.ts` does. Measured on a
+ * fixture carrying both shapes, that arm produced no correct edge and did
+ * produce wrong ones:
+ *
+ *   - `self.svc = f.Alpha()`, where `Alpha` is a METHOD on an unrelated object
+ *     and `Alpha` is also a class elsewhere: the dotted lookup matches the
+ *     TRAILING segment against a same-named class, so `self.svc.ping()` emitted
+ *     a FABRICATED edge to `Alpha.ping`. The root does not have to be a
+ *     parameter — a module-level `shared_factory.Alpha()` fabricates the same
+ *     way — so no test on the root's binding form contains this.
+ *   - `self.u = models.User()`, the shape the arm was written FOR, emitted no
+ *     edge with the arm or without it. An instance field's binding lands in
+ *     CLASS scope, which never reaches the namespace split that makes the
+ *     module-level local form resolve.
+ *
+ * Accepted cost, stated plainly: `self.u = models.User()` still does not type
+ * its field. It did not before this narrowing either, so nothing that worked is
+ * given up — and declining to bind is the doctrine `compound-receiver.ts`
+ * states, that a confidently WRONG owner is strictly worse than a missing edge.
+ * Re-enabling dotted callees is a RESOLUTION-side change (teach the field path
+ * the namespace split that #2826/#2828 is reworking); redoing it here could
+ * only re-open the trailing-segment fabrication.
+ *
+ * This is also why the tier tie-break below can stay last-write-wins: the

+ * `self.conn = Registry.get()`, where the second, dotted, non-type candidate
+ * overwrote the real constructor binding at the shared weakest tier and left

+/**
+ * Does this `@ivar` write land on an INSTANCE of the enclosing LEXICAL class?
+ *
+ * In Ruby an instance variable belongs to whatever `self` is at the point of
+ * the write, so this is really a question about `self`, and `self` is an
+ * instance of the enclosing lexical class only inside an ordinary `def` whose
+ * own definition site is that class's body. Every other arrangement writes an
+ * ivar some instance of this class will never see:
+ *
+ *   class C
+ *     @shared = Outer.new        # class body:       self == C
+ *     def self.build             # singleton_method: self == C
+ *       @pool = Outer.new
+ *     end
+ *     class << self              # singleton_class:  self == C
+ *       def warm; @cache = Outer.new; end
+ *     end
+ *     Other.class_eval do        # block receiver:   self == Other
+ *       def warm; @far = Outer.new; end
+ *     end
+ *     other.instance_eval { @alien = Outer.new }   # self == other
+ *     def run; @pool.inner; end  # reads nil — @pool was never set on an instance
+ *   end
+ *
+ * So the walk stops on the FIRST ancestor that decides who `self` is, and
+ * answers true only for an ordinary `method` reached without crossing any
+ * boundary that could have moved `self` elsewhere. `method` alone is NOT
+ * sufficient — a `def` nested in a `class << self` body, or in a `class_eval`
+ * block, is reached through a `method` node first — hence the flag rather than
+ * an early return (#2807).
+ *
+ * ── WHY BLOCKS ARE A HARD STOP, WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE CALL THEY BELONG TO ──
+ *
+ * A block is the one construct whose `self` (and whose "default definee", the
+ * class a `def` inside it attaches to) is chosen by its RECEIVER, not by its
+ * syntax. `Foo.class_eval do … end`, `Class.new do … end`, `Struct.new(:x) do …
+ * end`, `Data.define(:x) do … end`, `Module.new`, `refine`, `define_method`,
+ * `instance_eval`, `instance_exec`, `module_eval` and `class_exec` all rebind
+ * it; `[1].each do … end` does not.
+ *
+ * Telling those apart would need an enumeration of every method that rebinds a
+ * block's `self`, and that set is OPEN: any user-defined method can do it to a
+ * block it merely receives —
+ *
+ *   def helper(&blk) = Foo.class_eval(&blk)
+ *   helper { def warm; @far = Outer.new; end }   # attaches to Foo, not here
+ *
+ * — so no allow-list of "safe" call names is sound, and a deny-list of known
+ * rebinders is exactly the incomplete enumeration that produced this bug. The
+ * only complete answer available from the block's own syntax is that ownership
+ * is unprovable, so every block boundary is a stop. That over-discards a plain
+ * `each`/`tap` block, whose `self` really is the instance; per the safety
+ * doctrine (see `scope-resolution/passes/compound-receiver.ts`) a missed edge is
+ * the acceptable cost and a fabricated edge on the wrong class is not.
+ *
+ * A `class` / `module` keyword nested INSIDE a block still terminates the walk
+ * with a true answer, and correctly so: that keyword sets the definee lexically
+ * no matter what surrounds it, so `Class.new do class Inner; def m; @a = …`
+ * writes a real `Inner` instance field.
+ *
+ * ── FORMS THAT CANNOT REACH HERE AT ALL ────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * `obj.instance_variable_set(:@a, Outer.new)` is a `call`, not an `assignment`,
+ * and `Foo.class_eval "def warm; @a = Outer.new; end"` hides its body in a
+ * `string` node. Neither parses into the `(assignment left: (instance_variable)
+ * …)` pattern in query.ts, so neither ever produces the marker this gate reads.
+ *
+ * Deliberately conservative. A write this returns false for simply binds no
+ * type at all, which costs at most a missed edge; returning true too eagerly
+ * invents a call from a receiver that is always nil.

+/**
+ * Is this type-binding anchored on a **`static`** class field?
+ *
+ * A static member belongs to the CLASS OBJECT; an instance field belongs to
+ * instances. JavaScript and TypeScript keep the two in separate namespaces, so
+ * one class may legally declare both under one name:
+ *
+ *     class Host {
+ *       p = new Right();

+ *       hit() { return this.p.hit(); }   // `this.p` is Right
+ *     }
+ *
+ * Both field patterns anchor their binding on the same CLASS scope with the
+ * same `constructor-inferred` source, and `scope-extractor` breaks a
+ * same-strength tie with `>=` — last match wins. So the static field silently
+ * RETYPED the instance field of that name and `this.p.hit()` resolved to
+ * `Wrong.hit`: not a missing edge but a wrong one, the failure mode
+ * `scope-resolution/passes/compound-receiver.ts` exists to avoid. The scope
+ * tree has one `typeBindings` map per scope with no static/instance split, so a
+ * static field cannot be recorded separately — it is dropped instead.
+ *
+ * WHAT THAT COSTS, MEASURED rather than assumed (#2807 review, S7). An earlier
+ * version of this comment called the cost "a missed edge beats a wrong one".
+ * Only half of that is true, and the false half is the one that matters:
+ *
+ *   shape                       with the drop     without it
+ *   --------------------------  ----------------  ----------------
+ *   `this.p` (instance twin)    Right  ✓          Wrong  ✗
+ *   `Host.p` (static twin)      Right  ✗ WRONG    Wrong  ✓
+ *   `Host.q` (static, no twin)  — none, missed    Wrong  ✓
+ *
+ * For a class declaring BOTH twins the wrong edge does not disappear, it MOVES:
+ * `Host.p` now reads the INSTANCE twin's binding, because that is what is left
+ * in the map under that name. Only the no-twin case — the common static shape —
+ * is a true missed edge.
+ *
+ * The trade is still the right one, since `this.p` is overwhelmingly the more
+ * common access and a `Host.p` static chain is the cheaper place to be wrong.
+ * It is recorded here as a wrong edge rather than described as a missing one so
+ * that the next person weighing it is weighing the real thing. Closing it
+ * properly needs a static/instance split that the shared receiver fold cannot
+ * express today — `foldReceiverChain` in
+ * `scope-resolution/passes/compound-receiver.ts` explicitly discards whether a
+ * chain's base was a class reference or a value — so it is a separate change
+ * with a `SCHEMA_BUMP`, not a tweak here. Both shapes are pinned by rows in
+ * `test/integration/resolvers/inferred-field-receiver-matrix.test.ts`
+ * (`static-read-of-a-same-name-twin-picks-up-the-instance-type`,
+ * `static-read-without-a-twin-loses-its-type`), so the cost moves visibly.
+ *
+ * Sibling of {@link isStaticMethodThis}, which drops the ASSIGNMENT form
+ * (`this.x = new Y()` inside a static method). Together they cover both ways a
+ * static member can reach the field-typing path. This is an emit-side filter
+ * for the same reason that one is: `static` is an ANONYMOUS token on the
+ * declaration node, and a tree-sitter pattern cannot negate one.
+ *
+ * Detection is the shared `hasKeyword` — matching on child TEXT, never
+ * `child.type === 'static'`, because the token reaches the tree as an anonymous
+ * token in some grammar versions and a keyword node in others (see
+ * `isStaticMember` in `receiver-binding.ts`); a node-type test silently stops
+ * firing on a grammar bump and every static field starts retyping its instance
+ * twin again. Verified against both grammars in use here: `static` is an
+ * anonymous direct child of the caller's field-definition node —
+ * `public_field_definition` in TypeScript, `field_definition` in JavaScript —
+ * ahead of the name. Each language passes its OWN node-type set rather than the
+ * predicate holding both: a literal is only valid in the grammar of the file it
+ * appears in, and `grammar-literal-validation` fails a dead one.
+ *
+ * One deliberate over-fire: `hasKeyword` skips the node's `name` FIELD, and the
+ * JavaScript grammar names a field's name `property:`, not `name:` — so the
+ * legal-but-rare JavaScript field literally called `static`
+ * (`class C { static = new Right(); }`) reads as static and goes untyped. That

+ * strict PREFIX of the slice's real callee list. A STRUCTURED vocabulary, in the
+ * spirit of `truncatedByReasons: readonly ('depth'|'limit')[]` — the codes are the
+ * contract, the English phrasing is a rendering of them
+ * ({@link ASCENT_INCOMPLETE_PHRASE}). A caller branches on the code; only the note
+ * reads the phrase, so a rewording can never break a consumer.
+ *  - `'traversal-truncated'` — the traversal stopped at its depth/size budget, so
+ *    a callee that DOES carry a return-flow can sit in a hop never reached (the
+ *    same fact the result's `truncated`/`truncatedByReasons` report, read at the
+ *    ascent's granularity).
+ *  - `'callee-list-capped'` — a slice block's `calleeIds` cell was capped at emit;
+ *    `parseCalleeIdsCell` strips the sentinel, so the dropped ids are invisible to
+ *    BOTH the summary scan and the counters.
+ *  - `'callee-ids-unrecorded'` — a slice block records CALL SITES (a non-empty
+ *    `callees` name cell) but NO resolved callee ids. An empty `calleeIds` cell
+ *    carries no sentinel, so those call sites are invisible to the summary scan
+ *    without raising `'callee-list-capped'`. Distinct from the cap: nothing was
+ *    dropped at emit — the ids were never recorded.
+ *
+ *    THREE producer paths yield it, and the consumer cannot tell them apart —
+ *    do not read this code as naming any one of them (`cfg/emit.ts`,
+ *    `calleeIdsOfBlock`):
+ *      1. the file's resolved-id map is absent entirely (`fileMap === undefined`);
+ *      2. a call site has no position anchor;
+ *      3. a call site's position IS in the map but did not RESOLVE.
+ *    (3) is the ordinary one — it is exactly the receiver-resolution gaps this
+ *    repo pins (e.g. #2807's inference-typed field receivers, where `calleeIds`
+ *    empties while `calleesOfBlock` still writes the leaf names). So on a real
+ *    index this fires broadly and is driven by resolution quality, NOT by a
+ *    missing `--pdg` layer: "re-run analyze --pdg" is the wrong remedy for it,
+ *    and `examinedComplete: false` here is a statement about how much of the
+ *    call graph resolved, not about the traversal giving up.
+ *
+ *    Consequence worth knowing before branching on it: because (3) is common,
+ *    `examinedComplete: true` is the strong, rare signal and `false` is close to
+ *    the default on a large repo. Distinguishing the three needs a marker at
+ *    emit time, which would move the persisted cell format — deliberately out of

- * Bumped whenever incremental-indexing invariants change incompatibly.
- * v2: `BasicBlock.callees` column added (statement-precise inter-procedural
- * reach substrate) — an index built before this lacks the column, so a full
- * re-analyze is required rather than an incremental top-up.
- * v3: `BasicBlock.calleeIds` column added (sound resolved-callee-id parallel
- * to `callees`, #2227) — same contract: an index built before this lacks the
- * column, so a full re-analyze is forced rather than an incremental top-up.
- * v4: `CALL_SUMMARY` relation type added (per-callee RETURN-VALUE ASCENT
- * summary edges, PDG FU-C). A pre-v4 `--pdg` index has NO CALL_SUMMARY edges,
- * so the engine would silently UNDER-REPORT return-value ascent on an
- * incremental top-up; force a full re-analyze instead (same contract as v2/v3).
- * This single bump covers the whole FU-C re-index window (and the later FU-B-2).
- * v5: `Route` node identity changed to `(method, url)` (#2289 — a same-URL
- * GET/POST pair is now two distinct Route nodes). Every declarative-route node
- * id moved from `Route:/x` to `Route:GET /x` (filesystem routes keep their
- * URL-only id). The incremental writeback preserves unchanged-file rows, so a
- * top-up against a pre-v5 index would strand old url-keyed Route nodes alongside
- * new composite-keyed ones — force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v6: line-number storage flipped to uniform 0-based for the last 1-based
- * GraphNode emitters — COBOL/JCL/markdown/scope (#2377/#2379/#2380). Incremental
- * writeback preserves unchanged-file rows, so a top-up against a pre-v6 index
- * would MIX old 1-based rows with new 0-based ones — and the 1-based MCP display
- * would render the stale rows one line too high — so force a full re-analyze.
- * v7: callable-value-flow CALLS/USES edges added (#2437/#2522) — new edges can
- * connect two files whose content did not change, but the incremental write set
- * only covers changed files (`computeEffectiveWriteSet`), so a top-up against a
- * pre-v7 index would silently omit the new edges for every unchanged file pair;
- * force a full re-analyze instead (same contract as v2–v6).
- * v8: Java anonymous class bodies became first-class Class nodes (#2550):
- * `new Runnable() { run(){} }` now emits `Class:...:Worker$1` and its methods
- * re-keyed from `Worker.run` to `Worker$1.run`. Node identities move on
- * unchanged files — a top-up against a pre-v8 index would strand the old
- * `Worker.run`-keyed Method nodes alongside the new ones (the v5 Route
- * precedent); force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v9: Java enum constant bodies joined the instance model and anonymous
- * naming switched to JLS 13.1 immediately-enclosing-type chains (#2555): `enum E { A {
- * hook(){} } }` now emits `Class:...:E$1` with methods re-keyed from
- * `E.hook` to `E$1.hook`, and nested-host anonymous names re-key
- * (`EnumWrap$1` → `EnumWrap$Mode$1`). Same contract as v8: identities move
- * on unchanged files; force a full re-analyze.
- * v10: Java `record_declaration` now emits a first-class `Record` graph node
- * (#2564): a record's container node was previously never created (JAVA_QUERIES
- * had no capture for it), so its methods existed as ownerless Method nodes
- * with no `HAS_METHOD` edge. The incremental write set only covers changed
- * files — a top-up against a pre-v10 index would keep silently omitting the
- * `Record` node and its `HAS_METHOD` edges for every unchanged record file
- * (same v7 contract: new nodes/edges the incremental path would otherwise
- * never backfill); force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v11: Rust abstract trait methods (`fn foo(&self) -> T;`, no body) now get a
- * scope + declaration capture (#2604): RUST_SCOPE_QUERY had no
- * `function_signature_item` pattern, so a `&dyn Trait` receiver could never
- * dispatch a CALLS edge to the trait's own method. Same v7/v10 contract: the
- * incremental write set only covers changed files, so a top-up against a
- * pre-v11 index would keep silently missing these CALLS edges for every
- * unchanged Rust trait file; force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v12: Rust range-binding stopped restoring ambiguous duplicate type names
- * (#2514): a function/struct name defined three or more times used to
- * re-resolve to the last-scanned file (a presence toggle), so odd duplicate
- * counts emitted a wrong cross-file CALLS edge. Same v7/v11 contract: the
- * incremental write set only covers changed files, so a top-up against a
- * pre-v12 index would keep these spurious CALLS edges on every unchanged Rust
- * file. v12 also changes edges in the other direction: range-binding now
- * RESOLVES import-disambiguated duplicate names (`for item in make()` /
- * `let Struct { f } = ..` where a `use` or `use x::*` import pins one of several
- * same-named definitions) to the imported definition's type. Both the removed
- * spurious edges and these new resolved edges are cross-file, so a pre-v12
- * top-up would leave unchanged Rust files stale either way; force a full
- * re-analyze instead.
- * v13: Java local classes, enums, records, and interfaces use
- * source-type-relative JLS 13.1 identities (`Outer$1Local`). Number allocation
- * matches javac: one sequence per (enclosing type, local simple name), with a
- * separate sequence for anonymous types. Existing type/member ids, lexical
- * bindings, and ownership edges must not be mixed with newly named unchanged
- * Java files; force a full re-analyze.
- * v14: C# and Kotlin free-call fallback now rejects same-file methods whose
- * instance owner is outside the caller's enclosing class/MRO (#2563). The
- * incremental write set would otherwise retain those stale CALLS edges on
- * every unchanged C# and Kotlin file; force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v15: `const X = <arrow | function-expression>` no longer emits an edgeless
- * `Const:<file>:X` twin beside its `Function` node (#2687). The incremental
- * write set only covers changed files, so every unchanged TS/JS file would
- * keep its twin and `impact`/`context` would stay ambiguous on those names;
- * force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v16: calls through a closure-valued binding (`val f = { }; f()`) now resolve
- * in Kotlin, Swift, Dart, Ruby, Java, C# and PHP (#2693). These are NEW `CALLS`
- * edges, and those languages also gain callable graph nodes for closure
- * bindings that previously carried a value label or no node at all (including
- * JS/TS `var f = () => {}`). The incremental write set only covers changed
- * files, so unchanged files would keep reporting a zero blast radius for those
- * symbols; force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v17: `this` inside a JS/TS ordinary `function` no longer resolves to the
- * lexically enclosing class (#2701). This REMOVES `CALLS`/`ACCESSES` edges —
- * including ones that are correct at runtime via `.bind(this)`, `.call`, or a
- * `forEach` thisArg, which the graph does not model. The incremental write set
- * only covers changed files, so every unchanged TS/JS file would keep its
- * fabricated `this` edges; force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v18: function-local callables carry their enclosing-callable chain plus their
- * own position, so a local closure no longer shares a node id with a same-named
- * file-level function (#2699) — `Function:f.ts:save` ->
- * `Function:f.ts:run.save@2:2`. JavaScript/TypeScript also gain block scopes
- * (`statement_block`), without which two `const` of one name in sibling blocks
- * stay indistinguishable to the resolver and each call resolves to BOTH. This
- * CHANGES PERSISTED NODE IDS for every function-local callable and changes
- * which node a local call resolves to. An incremental top-up would leave
- * unchanged files pointing at the old ids while changed files emit the new
- * ones, splitting each symbol in two; force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v19: the enclosing-callable walk now stops at class BODIES and anonymous-class
- * construction sites, not only at class DECLARATIONS (#2699 follow-up). v18 shipped
- * with `CLASS_CONTAINER_TYPES` as the only boundary, which lists no node for a Java
- * anonymous class (`object_creation_expression > class_body`), so the walk reached the
- * enclosing method and re-keyed `Worker$1.run` as `Worker.makeHandler.run@7:12` —
- * destroying the javac-compatible JLS identity of #2550/#2555/#2562. An index stamped
- * v18 therefore holds WRONG Java ids, and without this bump it passes the reuse gate
- * and keeps them on every unchanged file; force a full re-analyze instead.
- * v20: a NAMED explicit receiver no longer resolves its member through the lexical
- * scope chain (#2699 follow-up). `options.baseUrl` used to bind to an unrelated
- * function-local `const baseUrl`; measured on a 762-file corpus this removes 709
- * such edges and adds none. `this`/`self` are exempt, so the 2 genuine self-alias
- * reads it also covered are kept. A v19 index holds those false CALLS/ACCESSES on
- * every unchanged file and would keep serving them through the reuse gate; force a
- * full re-analyze instead.
- * v21: a closure bound to a name is a call SOURCE in every language, not only a
- * TARGET (#2699 part B). PHP/Rust/Kotlin/Ruby/Dart closure bindings gained the
- * declaration rule, Rust gained the graph NODE it never emitted, and Dart locals
- * gained the enclosing-callable + position identity that made two same-named
- * closures collapse onto one node — which had them asserting a CALLS edge
- * present nowhere in the source. All of that changes emitted node ids AND edges
- * on files that did not themselves change, so a v20 index topped up
- * incrementally keeps serving the old attribution; force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v22: CommonJS export forms are indexed (#2723) — `exports.X`/`module.exports.X`,
- * aliased receivers, module-level `this`, re-export forwarding, `module.exports = fn`,
- * plus prototype/`this` members as Methods with owner edges; and the #2729 review
- * fixes that stopped a text-only exports receiver inventing exports inside UMD
- * factories and stopped the shadow guard deleting or fabricating call edges.
- * These change what is emitted for source whose CONTENT has not changed, so a v21
- * index would keep serving the pre-fix graph for every unchanged CommonJS file —
- * the exact "Target not found" symptom #2723 reported. Force a full re-analyze.
- * v23: Rust module-qualified calls resolve against the module tree (#2730).
- * RUST_SCOPE_QUERY gained `@declaration.namespace` on `mod_item` and
- * `@reference.qualified-name` on scoped call sites, and a new resolution tier
- * binds `tools::dispatch(..)` to the module the path names instead of the
- * lexically nearest same-named fn. Same v11/v12 contract: the incremental
- * write set only covers CHANGED files, so a top-up against a pre-v23 index
- * would keep the wrong self-loop — and keep reporting the callee as unreached
- * — for every unchanged Rust file, which is exactly the symptom #2730
- * reported. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v28: structural receiver typing is active for ALL 14 languages, and the fold no
- * longer types a bare identifier that merely SHADOWS a class name as that class.
- * v27 landed with TypeScript-only emission and with the permissive base lookup, so
- * an index stamped 27 by an intermediate build carries both pre-rollout edges for 13
- * languages AND the fabricated edges the shadowing bug produced. The reuse gate is a
- * strict `===`, so such an index would be treated as current. Re-bumped here so the
- * version tracks the final edge semantics. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v26: receiver expressions are typed from captured structure rather than from
- * their source text. `svc?.getUser().save()`, `svc!.getUser().save()` and
- * `svc.getTyped<User>().save()` previously emitted NO `CALLS` edge — the text
- * cascade split the receiver on punctuation it could not parse — and two of the
- * three recorded no drop either, because a later case marked the site handled,
- * which suppresses the drop record. So the caller was missing from
- * `impact(direction: "upstream")` and `context()` AND the count still claimed
- * `epistemic: 'exact'`. Same v11/v12 contract: the incremental write set covers
- * only CHANGED files, so a top-up against a pre-v26 index keeps serving the
- * pre-fix graph — and the pre-fix confident count — for every unchanged file.
- * Worse than merely incomplete: the drop summary is a whole-repo recompute while
- * the edges are a changed-files write, so the two would disagree. Force a full
- * re-analyze.
- *
- * v24: inline constructor receivers resolve — `Service(db).do_work()` (Python),
- * `new Service(db).doWork()` (JS/TS, C#), `Service.new.do_work` (Ruby), plus the
- * generic, qualified, chain-head and keyword-trivia spellings of the same shape
- * (#2708). These calls previously emitted NO `CALLS` edge, so the caller was
- * missing from `impact(direction: "upstream")` and `context()`. The Ruby
- * selector fix also moves an edge: `factory.new.run`, where the class defines an
- * instance method named `new`, now resolves through that method again instead of
- * being read as construction. All of it changes what is emitted for source whose
- * CONTENT has not changed, so a v22 index topped up incrementally — or served by
- * the same-commit "already up to date" fast path — keeps returning the pre-fix
- * graph for every unchanged file, which is exactly the missing-caller symptom
- * #2708 reported. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v29: Spring @Bean declarations are CodeElement providers and INJECTS may run
- * from a consumer Class or factory Method to that CodeElement (#2413). The
- * relation DDL gained Class→CodeElement; a pre-v29 database cannot persist that
- * label pair, so force a one-time rebuild against the expanded schema.

- * (This shipped as v25 on its own branch; `main` took 25 through 28 first, so it
- * is renumbered at merge time. Re-check both constants against origin/main
- * immediately before merging — this is the fifth time that collision has bitten.)
- *
- * v26: unresolved-receiver member names are persisted
- * (`unresolvedReceiverMembers`) so `impact()`/`context()` can report
- * `epistemic: 'lower-bound'` instead of a confident `'exact'` when a call site
- * was dropped for want of a receiver type (#2744). A pre-v26 index carries no
- * such summary, and an absent summary is indistinguishable from "nothing was
- * dropped" — so topping one up incrementally would keep reporting `exact` for
- * exactly the symbols the signal exists to flag. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * (This shipped as v25 on its own branch; `main` took 25 for #2742 first, so it
- * is renumbered here. Re-check both constants against origin/main immediately
- * before merging — this is the fourth time that collision has bitten.)
- *
- * v25: Rust items are qualified by their enclosing `mod` chain (#2742), so
- * `mod inner { fn dispatch }` and a crate-root `fn dispatch` in one file are
- * finally DISTINCT nodes instead of collapsing onto `Function:<file>:dispatch`
- * first-wins. Node IDS CHANGE for every Rust item inside any `mod` block —
- * `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` makes that close to every Rust repo — so a pre-v25
- * index holds ids an incremental top-up cannot reconcile and would simply
- * strand. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v30: bound-callable graph `startLine` follows the initializer (#2735), so a
- * multi-line closure binding joins the scope channel and emits its CALLS edge.
- * Pre-v30 indexes keep the wrapper line on unchanged files and would keep
- * failing closed (no edge) through the reuse gate. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v31: Python named imports that resolve to concrete submodules are finalized
- * as namespace edges (#2746), enabling qualified constructor and method CALLS
- * edges. Pre-v31 indexes retain the old package-target/missing-edge graph for
- * unchanged files through the reuse gate. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v32: the relation DDL (the single shared `CodeRelation` REL TABLE) gains
- * sixteen FROM/TO pairs carried by `HAS_METHOD`/`HAS_PROPERTY` and
- * scope-resolution edges: Enum→{Function, Method, Struct, Constructor,
- * Property, TypeAlias}, Property→{Class, Enum, Function, Struct},
- * Method→{Variable, Const}, Trait→Function, Impl→Function, Const→Method and
- * Variable→Method. The Enum/Property set was observed on Swift (enums carry
- * computed properties, methods, initializers and nested types) and is also
- * reached by Java/PHP enum members; Trait/Impl→Function covers a Rust
- * `impl`/`trait` method, which is minted as a `Function` node, not `Method`;
- * Const/Variable→Method and its sibling Method→Const cover a JS/TS object
- * literal's shorthand methods, whose owner is labelled `Const`/`Variable`. A

- * fails loudly on one path and silently on the other. Force a full re-analyze.

- * reuse gate is exact equality, so an index already stamped 32 would satisfy
- * it against a differently-shaped reverted DB. Start the next allocation at
- * 33 instead.)
- *
- * v33: Spring AOP evidence adds the Interface→CodeElement relation pair
- * (#2416). LadybugDB fixes allowed endpoint pairs when the relation table is
- * created, so an older index cannot persist these edges through incremental
- * writeback. Force a full re-analyze.
- *
- * v34: receiver-chain wire format v2 (name-free `await` / `index` steps). Every
- * persisted `ReferenceSite.receiverChain` string changed prefix, and a v2
- * decoder refuses a v1 payload by design, so a pre-v34 index carries chains this
- * build cannot read. Resolution would silently fall back to the text cascade for
- * every chain-carrying site — no error, just quietly worse edges. Force a full
- * re-analyze.
- *
- * Numbered 34, not 33: `main` took 33 for Spring AOP (#2416) mid-flight, landing
- * on exactly this branch's number — the seventh collision in this series and the
- * first exact clash. Re-check against origin/main before merge.
- *
- * v35: the relation DDL is GENERATED from two closed-form rules instead of the
- * pairs someone happened to hit — 223 → 450 declared pairs (#2792, #2793).
- * Rule 1, the scope-resolution bridge: `LINKABLE_LABELS` + the `File` caller
- * fallback, crossed with `LINKABLE_LABELS` + `CALL_TARGET_TYPES`. Rule 2, the
- * phase/framework overlays: every definition label (`NODE_TABLES` minus
- * Community/Process/Route/Tool/Folder/BasicBlock) crossed with the labels those
- * emitters mint and hang off a resolved anchor — Annotation, Community,
- * Process, Route, Tool, File, Record. In both families the endpoint labels are
- * LOOKUP RESULTS, not literals at the emit site, so hand-listing could only
- * ever declare the pair in the latest stack trace: v32, v33 and #2781 were each
- * that same piecemeal fix, and `analyze` kept aborting at `assertDeclaredPair`
- * on the next codebase with a different edge shape (`Class→Variable` on Java
- * initializers, then `Method→Annotation` on Spring `@Bean`, `Method→File` on a
- * Vue Options-API handler, `Namespace→Record` on COBOL `DECLARATIVES`, and
- * `Class→Tool` on `@mcp.tool()` applied to a class — four at once, from three
- * different emitters). What remains hand-declared is only the containment /
- * inheritance / import surface, which no label predicate describes and which a
- * corpus test guards instead. A pre-v35 database physically lacks all of these
- * from-to pairs, so force a full re-analyze.

+/**
+ * Shared child-process module-load probe for the `dist/` import-closure tests.
+ *
+ * Extracted at its THIRD consumer (`mini-repo.ts` set the precedent at its
+ * second). `test/integration/mcp/import-closure.test.ts`,
+ * `test/integration/optional-grammars/registry-import-closure.test.ts` and
+ * `test/integration/mcp/startup-language-closure.test.ts` had each grown their
+ * own copy of the same machinery: the `REPO_ROOT` derivation, the probe source,
+ * the "dist missing — run `npm run build`" guard, the spawn with `NODE_OPTIONS`
+ * cleared, the status-vs-signal error rendering, and the JSON payload parse.
+ *
+ * The copies were not equal, which is what made the duplication actively
+ * harmful rather than merely verbose. Two of the three diffed `require.cache`
+ * only — structurally BLIND to the first-party ESM `dist/**` graph they walk
+ * (`dist/` is `"type": "module"`), so they could not see most of what they
+ * traversed — and one of those had no non-vacuity guard at all, meaning a
+ * severed entry passed it green. The next author had 2-in-3 odds of copying a
+ * broken probe.
+ *
+ * So the HARNESS is shared and the POLICY is not: which modules are forbidden,
+ * and what the remedy is, stays in each test, because that advice is specific
+ * to the regression that test exists to prevent.
+ *
+ * Two load channels, unioned:
+ *  - `module.registerHooks({ load })` sees every module the ESM loader
+ *    resolves, including the first-party `dist/**` graph. (Added in Node
+ *    22.15; the package `engines` floor is `^22.18.0 || >=24.11.0`.)
+ *  - a `require.cache` diff catches CJS/native modules, which is how a
+ *    tree-sitter grammar binding or a `.node` addon surfaces.
+ *
+ * Non-vacuity is STRUCTURAL here, not a convention a caller can forget: every
+ * request MUST declare an `anchor` module and a `minModules` floor, and the
+ * probe throws unless both hold. "The probe loaded nothing" is the one failure
+ * mode that turns every one of these tests green while asserting nothing, so it
+ * is not left to the test author to remember.
+ *
+ * An anchor is PER-POLICY, not per-entry. One probe is routinely asserted over
+ * by several INDEPENDENT policies ("loads no language provider" AND "loads no
+ * group extractor"), and each policy is only non-vacuous while the chain IT
+ * polices is still walked. A single anchor on one of those chains, plus the
+ * module-count floor, both stay green when a DIFFERENT chain is severed — and
+ * the policy that rode on it silently stops being able to fail. So `anchor`
+ * takes a list: name one module per policy, e.g.
+ * `anchor: ['dist/mcp/resources.js', 'dist/core/group/service.js']`. A bare
+ * string is the single-policy shorthand.
+ *
+ * Lazy `await import(...)` inside a function body remains the sanctioned escape
+ * hatch throughout: it does not run at module evaluation, so the probe does not
+ * see it. A TOP-LEVEL `await import(...)` does run, and the probe reports it —
+ * which is the point.

+ * Temp-directory lifecycle for pipeline-level integration tests.
+ *
+ * The pipeline mutates the repo it is handed (parse caches, `.gitnexus/`), so
+ * these tests each run against a throwaway copy of a fixture. Every consumer
+ * had hand-rolled the SAME three parts — a `string[]` of created dirs, a
+ * `mkdtempSync` that pushes onto it, and an `afterAll` that `rmSync`s the lot.
+ * Extracted at the fourth consumer (`pipeline-pdg`, `pipeline-pdg-streaming`,
+ * `interproc-taint`, `pdg-chained-receiver-callees`); the copies had already
+ * drifted — `pipeline-pdg` registered two cleanup hooks over one array.
+ *
+ * Only the LIFECYCLE is shared, deliberately: seeding differs per test (a
+ * recursive fixture copy, a single file, an inline-written source, or nothing
+ * at all), so `dir()` hands back an empty registered directory and the caller
+ * fills it however it likes. `fromFixture()` is the common case.
+ *
+ * `createTempDirPool` calls `afterAll` itself, so it must be called from a
+ * test file's module scope (not from this module's top level — ESM caching
+ * would register the hook once, for whichever file imported it first).
+ * Directories are registered at creation, before any seeding runs, so a
+ * fixture copy or a pipeline run that throws still leaves them cleaned up.
+ *
+ * Cleanup is best-effort PER DIRECTORY — see `removeTempDirs`. Every one of the
+ * hand-rolled copies looped bare `rmSync` calls, so the first failure aborted
+ * the removal of every directory after it; consolidating them made that one

+ * cell, so the descent could not cross into `Outer.inner` either even though
+ * that call has a perfectly ordinary named receiver. The cause was upstream of
+ * the PDG entirely: an untyped field had no type binding, so the receiver fold
+ * declined at its first step and no link was ever resolved to put here. The
+ * resolver-level view of the same fact, with the full shape table, lives in

+/**
+ * MCP startup must not load the analyze-only language provider registry (#2802).
+ *
+ * `mcp/local/pdg-impact.ts` once imported `core/ingestion/languages/index.ts`
+ * for a single extension→language lookup. That edge pulled all 16 providers,
+ * their extractors, and the tree-sitter native binding into every MCP server
+ * start: ~226 extra modules and ~130 ms, for a server that never analyzes
+ * anything. The finding was discovered and lost once already (during #2793)
+ * before #2802 re-derived it, so it gets a guard rather than a comment.
+ *
+ * The guard is a REAL MODULE-LOAD PROBE, not a source-level import walk. A
+ * previous regex-based version of this test (`test/unit/mcp-startup-import-
+ * closure.test.ts`) was defeated four separate ways: it walked from
+ * `local-backend.ts` instead of the actual server entry, it was structurally
+ * blind to eager top-level `await import(...)`, its type-only-import stripper
+ * lazily matched across a 16 kB window of `pdg-impact.ts` (the terminating
+ * `from "…"` lived inside a string literal), and its comment stripper treated
+ * `/*` inside a string literal as a comment opener.
+ *
+ * The probe itself now lives in `test/helpers/module-load-probe.ts`, shared with
+ * `test/integration/mcp/import-closure.test.ts` and
+ * `test/integration/optional-grammars/registry-import-closure.test.ts` — it
+ * spawns a child Node process, imports a built `dist/` entry, and reports every
+ * module the loader actually pulled in. It cannot be fooled by import syntax, a
+ * stale entry point, or regex drift: whatever Node evaluates, the probe sees.
+ * The FORBIDDEN set and its remedy stay here, because they are specific to
+ * #2802.
+ *
+ * Coverage note: `dist/mcp/server.js` is the entry that must be protected — it
+ * is what `mcpCommand` dynamically imports and what actually serves MCP.
+ * `dist/cli/mcp.js` is asserted too (it is the process entry, and its
+ * deliberately leaf-only static closure is pinned separately by
+ * `import-closure.test.ts`), as is `dist/mcp/local/local-backend.js` — the
+ * module whose import graph #2802 actually changed, and
+ * `dist/mcp/http-transport.js`, which is the OTHER startup entry: `gitnexus mcp
+ * --http` reaches it through its own `await import(...)` in `mcpCommand`, not
+ * through `server.js`, so nothing about `server.js` staying clean constrains it.
+ *
+ * `local-backend.js`'s closure is TODAY a strict subset of `server.js`'s (156
+ * of 380 modules, none of them absent from the server's), so it cannot surface
+ * an offender the server probe would miss. It is kept anyway, for two reasons
+ * that survive that measurement. The subset relation is an observation about
+ * the current graph and nothing enforces it: the day `server.js` stops reaching
+ * the local backend eagerly (remote-only default, lazy backend selection), the
+ * server probe's anchor — `dist/mcp/resources.js` — keeps passing while the
+ * module #2802 actually changed goes unobserved. Its own entry pins
+ * `dist/mcp/local/pdg-impact.js` as an anchor, which is coverage the server
+ * entry does not and cannot provide. And since the probes run concurrently, the
+ * marginal wall-clock cost is ~0: it finishes inside the server probe's window.
+ *
+ * Lazy `await import(...)` inside a function body remains the sanctioned escape
+ * hatch: it does not run at startup, so the probe does not see it. A top-level
+ * `await import(...)` DOES run at module evaluation, and the probe reports it —
+ * which is the point.

+/**
+ * Cross-language matrix for #2807: can a class field whose type is INFERRED —
+ * from its initializer, or from a constructor call assigned to it — act as a
+ * call receiver?
+ *
+ * ── HOW TO READ A ROW ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * Every row in every language runs the SAME statement shape,
+ * `<receiver>.inner().compute(x)`, and only the receiver FORM varies. The
+ * question this file answers is not "did both links resolve" — it is **does an
+ * inference-typed field behave like that language's own control row**.
+ *
+ * That distinction is the whole design. Several languages lose the SECOND link
+ * (`Inner.compute`) even for a plain local, because they have no return-type
+ * annotation to carry the chain — JavaScript has none at all, and the Python,
+ * Dart and PHP fixtures here declare none. That is a separate
+ * return-type-inference gap and NOT what #2807 was about. Comparing an inferred
+ * field against the language's control row isolates the field-typing question
+ * from it; comparing against "both links present" would have falsely accused
+ * four languages and falsely cleared none.
+ *
+ * ── MEASURED STATE ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ *   language    control        inferred field (init)   assigned field (this/self)
+ *   ----------  -------------  ----------------------  --------------------------
+ *   TypeScript  both links     both links  (#2807)     both links  (#2807)
+ *   JavaScript  Outer.inner    Outer.inner (#2807)     Outer.inner (already ok)
+ *   Python      Outer.inner    n/a — no field decls    Outer.inner (#2807)
+ *   Ruby        both links     n/a — no field decls    both links  (#2807)
+ *   Kotlin      both links     both links (was ok)     n/a — needs a type
+ *   PHP         Outer.inner    n/a — see below         Outer.inner (was ok)
+ *   Dart        Outer.inner    Outer.inner (#2807)     Outer.inner (#2807)
+ *   Swift       both links     both links  (#2807)     optional field (#2807)
+ *
+ * Shapes marked n/a do not exist in that language: Python and Ruby have no
+ * field DECLARATIONS at all (a field is created by assignment, so only the
+ * assigned column is meaningful), PHP property initializers accept only
+ * constant expressions so `private $p = new Outer();` is not writable, and
+ * Kotlin/Swift cannot declare a stored property with neither a type nor an
+ * initializer, so their "assigned" shape is always annotated and already
+ * resolves through the annotation.
+ *
+ * Kotlin and PHP were already correct before #2807 and are pinned here so a
+ * change to the shared fold cannot regress them unnoticed — the two languages
+ * that got receiver typing for free are exactly the ones nobody would think to
+ * re-check.
+ *
+ * ── THE OTHER HALF: A FIELD MUST NOT BE TYPED BY AN ALIEN `this` ─────────────
+ *
+ * Typing a field from `this.p = new Outer()` is only half the question; the
+ * other half is WHICH `this`. The first cut of the TypeScript pattern was
+ * context-free, so it typed a class's field from any `this.p = new …` in the
+ * file — inside a non-arrow callback, an object-literal method, a static
+ * method, or at module top level, none of which are that class's instance. The
+ * TypeScript section carries one guard row per shape; see the comment on them.
+ * They are written so a regression SWAPS a target rather than emptying the set,
+ * because a row that asserts an empty result passes just as well when the
+ * fixture stopped working.
+ *
+ * A `static` member reaches the same Class scope by a SECOND route that has no
+ * `this` in it at all — its own declaration. JavaScript and TypeScript keep
+ * static and instance members in separate namespaces, so `p = new Outer();
+ * static p = new Alien();` is legal and `this.p` is `Outer`; both bindings
+ * landed on one scope at one strength and the `>=` tie-break gave the field to
+ * whichever matched last. Dart forbids that same-name pair outright, so its
+ * version of the defect is a static METHOD's receiver-less write
+ * (`libraryZ = Other()`, which in Dart's static scope names a library variable)
+ * displacing the constructor's binding. All three languages carry a row, and
+ * Dart carries the counterweight too: a static field DECLARATION is read by
+ * bare name from instance methods in ordinary Dart, so its binding must survive.
+ *
+ * ── HOW THE HARD CASES WERE FIXED ─────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * Dart is the one language here that writes a field with NO receiver prefix, so
+ * `r = Outer()` in a constructor is syntactically identical to assigning a
+ * local. It binds only when the class declares that field AND the enclosing
+ * member binds no name that shadows it — exactly when Dart itself resolves the
+ * bare name to the field. A `this.`-prefixed write needs neither test. The
+ * shadowing cases are asserted, not described: a body-local, a formal parameter,
+ * a closure parameter, a catch binding and a for-in variable each get a row.
+ * "Local declarations" alone was the first attempt and was wrong in both
+ * directions — a parameter write retyped the field to the wrong class AND
+ * displaced the constructor's correct binding, so the shadow rows below assert
+ * the SURVIVING correct target rather than an absence.
+ *
+ * That shadow set gated WRITES only, which left the mirror-image defect on the
+ * READ side: a bare-name read of a shadowing binder the resolver cannot type
+ * (`for (final conn in xs) { conn.inner(); }`) walked past the local and picked
+ * up the very class binding the write side had just minted, so a missing edge
+ * became a WRONG one. The fix publishes `shadows ∩ fields` on the member's
+ * Function scope as `Scope.ownsReceivers` (#2701) — the same language-neutral
+ * masking primitive TypeScript uses for a non-arrow `this`. Because the receiver
+ * walk consults `typeBindings` before the mask at every scope, a shadow the
+ * resolver CAN type still wins, which the annotated-parameter and typed-local
+ * rows pin. All SEVEN binder shapes the read-side defect was measured in get a
+ * row of their own — for-in (`final` and `var`), untyped formal parameter, plain
+ * local, catch binding, closure parameter and record pattern — rather than the
+ * two it shipped with plus an argument that the rest route through the same
+ * enumeration: the grammar-derived coverage test at the bottom of this file
+ * gates the PATTERN family only, so it never covered the other four (#2807
+ * review, S8). Two costs are taken knowingly and are visible in the rows: the
+ * mask is body-wide, so a read of the genuine field elsewhere in a shadowing
+ * member loses its edge; and only names the class declares as FIELDS are masked,
+ * so the same defect against a library-level variable is still open. Both are
+ * recorded on `dartShadowedFieldsCapture` in `languages/dart/captures.ts`.
+ *
+ * Swift reached parity only once a SEPARATE defect was fixed alongside: its
+ * methods are emitted as `Function` nodes while the scope extractor derives
+ * `Method` from the declaration anchor, so every label-scoped bridge key missed
+ * and two same-named methods in one file collapsed onto whichever registered
+ * first — the second method's calls were attributed to the first. That masked
+ * this row entirely; Swift's `let p = Outer()` binding had been correct all

+ * `constructorCallTypeName` accepts a BARE-NAME callee only (#2807 review).
+ *
+ * ── WHY A DOTTED CALLEE IS REFUSED ───────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * The first cut of #2807 handed a dotted callee's full text to the resolver, on
+ * the theory that `models.User` resolves through `QualifiedNameIndex` the way
+ * the module-level `u = models.User()` capture in `query.ts` does. Measured
+ * here, that arm never produced a correct edge and did produce wrong ones. Both
+ * halves of that claim have rows below, because the fix is only defensible if
+ * BOTH hold — refusing a shape that worked would be a regression, not a fix.
+ *
+ * The wrong edge: a dotted rawName is matched by its TRAILING segment against a
+ * same-named class, so `self.svc = f.Alpha()` — where `Alpha` is a METHOD on an
+ * unrelated object and `Alpha` is also a class — typed the field as `Alpha` and
+ * `self.svc.ping()` emitted a FABRICATED `Alpha.ping`. `Factory.Alpha` returns
+ * a `str`; there is no sense in which that field is an `Alpha`.
+ *
+ * The absent right edge: `self.u = models.User()` emitted nothing with the arm
+ * or without it, because an instance field's binding lands in CLASS scope,
+ * which never reaches the namespace split that makes the module-level LOCAL
+ * form resolve. That local form is pinned below and is untouched by this
+ * change — it comes from `query.ts`, not from `receiver-binding.ts` — which is
+ * what keeps "dotted construction works somewhere" true while this module
+ * refuses it.
+ *
+ * ── HOW TO READ A ROW ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * No row asserts an empty set. Where the correct outcome IS "this field does
+ * not type", the method also calls `Alien.ping()`, so the assertion is
+ * `{Alien.ping}` and a regression SWAPS a target in rather than emptying the
+ * set — an empty-set row would pass just as well if the fixture stopped
+ * parsing. `Alien` exists only to be that witness.
+ *
+ * ── THE DISPLACEMENT THIS ALSO CLOSED ────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * `self.conn = Outer()` followed by `self.conn = Registry.get()` used to emit NO
+ * edge at all: both candidates sat in the weakest tier, so the later dotted one
+ * — which resolves to nothing — displaced the real constructor binding under
+ * the tier tie-break's last-write-wins. It needed no separate mechanism. Once a
+ * dotted callee yields no candidate, `Registry.get()` is not a candidate to
+ * displace with, and `Outer` survives. The tie-break is deliberately left as
+ * last-write-wins: between two REAL constructions the last write in `__init__`
+ * genuinely is the live one, so tightening it would have been the wrong fix to
+ * a symptom of this one.

+ * #2807 follow-up — a FUNCTION-LOCAL callable must keep its own graph node when

+ *
+ * Swift's structure phase emits a type's methods as `Function` nodes while the
+ * scope extractor derives `Method` from the `@declaration.method` anchor. Every
+ * key `resolveDefGraphId` builds is scoped to one label, so under that split the
+ * position key (#2699) missed AND the fail-closed guard beside it could never
+ * fire — the guard is scoped to the def's own label too, so it was unreachable
+ * in exactly the case the sibling-label retry below it serves. The local then
+ * fell through to that retry and was aliased onto the class method of the same
+ * name.
+ *
+ * Measured before the fix, on this fixture: the local `func helper` inside
+ * `Host.run` resolved to `Function:src/app.swift:Host.helper#1`, so the `sink()`
+ * call in the LOCAL's body was emitted as an outgoing edge of the public
+ * one-argument method — a caller that does not make that call, present in the
+ * graph, in a file whose two `helper`s do not even share an arity.
+ *
+ * The two `helper`s are deliberately given DIFFERENT arities. Arity is the
+ * disambiguator every name-keyed bridge lookup falls back on, so a fixture where
+ * they matched could pass on a lookup that still cannot tell the two apart.

+ *   field   `private p: Outer = new Outer()`     (ANNOTATED)  Outer.inner + Inner.compute
+ *   field   `private p: Outer;` + ctor `this.p = new Outer()` Outer.inner + Inner.compute

+ *   field   `constructor(private p: Outer)` (param property)  Outer.inner + Inner.compute

+ *   chain   `o.inner().mid().compute()`        (three links)  all three links
+ *   field   `private p = new Outer()`            (INFERRED)   Outer.inner + Inner.compute

+ *
+ * ── WHY THE LAST THREE ROWS ARE HERE (#2807) ──────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * They used to emit NOTHING — not a partial chain, no outgoing CALLS edge at
+ * all, so even `Outer.inner`, a plainly named receiver call, was lost. The
+ * discriminator was whether the field DECLARED its type: an untyped field had
+ * no entry in its class scope's `typeBindings`, so `typeOfMemberOnClass` came
+ * back empty and `foldReceiverChain` declined at the very first step.
+ *
+ * The `new Outer()` initializer was never the problem — it always emitted its
+ * own constructor edge, exactly as the annotated twin does (still asserted
+ * below). What was missing was the step turning that initializer into a TYPE
+ * BINDING for the field, i.e. a `@type-binding.constructor` capture pattern
+ * anchored on `public_field_definition` and on `this.<field> = new …`.
+ *
+ * The annotated twins stay pinned alongside on purpose: they are what proves a
+ * regression would be a regression, and one of them —
+ * `AnnotationBeatsInitializerCaller` — deliberately mistypes its annotation so
+ * that the annotation-over-initializer source-strength tie-break is asserted
+ * executably rather than assumed.
+ *
+ * The same fact is observable one layer down as a `BasicBlock.calleeIds` cell
+ * in `test/integration/cfg/pdg-chained-receiver-callees.test.ts` — that is the
+ * PDG's view of this RESOLVER fact, behind a full `--pdg` pipeline. Keep the
+ * two files in step: whoever changes receiver typing changes both.

+//     completing so the callee's frontier is the only source left). The per-callee
