+ *                                when the method has `params T[]` variadic.
+ *   - `requiredParameterCount` — min required (excludes defaulted params
+ *                                and `params` variadic).
+ *   - `parameterTypes`         — declared type strings; contains the
+ *                                literal `'params'` when the method is
+ *                                variadic.
+ *
+ * Verdicts:
+ *   - `'compatible'`   — `requiredParameterCount <= argCount <= parameterCount`,
+ *                        OR the def takes `params` (then any `argCount >= required`).
+ *   - `'incompatible'` — argCount is below required, OR above max with no variadic.
+ *   - `'unknown'`      — metadata is absent / incomplete.
+ *
+ * `'incompatible'` is a soft signal in `Registry.lookup` (penalized but
+ * still considered when no compatible candidate exists), per RFC §4.
