+/**
+ * A1/A5 — property access on a PLAIN OBJECT LITERAL must be answerable.
+ *
+ * Verified root cause: `Property` definition nodes are created only for
+ * DECLARED CLASS FIELDS. Object-literal keys mint no node, so `ACCESSES` has
+ * no target and "who reads/writes this config field?" returns a confident
+ * zero. Capture and emission are already correct and language-neutral — a
+ * `read`/`write` site maps to `ACCESSES` for any resolved target — so this is
+ * purely definition-node coverage plus receiver resolution.
+ *
+ * Two receiver shapes, deliberately separated:
+ *   - through the holding variable (`exitRules.exitMinAtrMult`) — the receiver
+ *     is typeable, so this must resolve precisely.
+ *   - through an untyped param (`cfg.exitMinAtrMult`) — the option-bag shape
+ *     that dominates idiomatic JS. Not precisely solvable without types;
+ *     covered by name-based fallback at reduced confidence.
+ *
+ * STATUS — not yet implemented; these are the acceptance criteria.
+ *
+ * Established so far:
+ *   - A parse-query pattern scoped to object literals BOUND TO A VARIABLE
+ *     (`(variable_declarator name: (identifier) value: (object (pair key:
+ *     (property_identifier) @name) @definition.property))`) matches correctly:
+ *     verified against the raw JAVASCRIPT_QUERIES, 4 captures on this fixture
+ *     with the right names. It is NOT enough on its own — no `Property` node
+ *     reaches the graph, and `local-symbol-pruner` is not the cause (it drops
+ *     only Const/Variable/Static). The remaining gate is in the parse worker's
+ *     node-creation path for `@definition.property` captures.
+ *   - The two receiver shapes need different mechanisms. Through the holding
+ *     variable the receiver is typeable and must resolve precisely. Through an
+ *     untyped param it is not, and needs name-based matching — sanctioned for
+ *     dynamic languages here (`fieldFallbackOnMethodLookup` defaults on, and
+ *     the Vue provider documents it recovering plain-object-literal cases) but
+ *     it must carry reduced confidence so precision is not overclaimed.
