A function named in VALUE position — `bridge.accessor(Element.getNamespaceUri,
null, .{})`, `{ onClick: handler }`, a comparator handed to a sort — is
registered somewhere rather than called. The registration is modelled (a
`value-ref` site becomes a USES edge; Kythe `ref` vs `ref/call`, Joern
METHOD_REF), but the invocation THROUGH the stored value is not: it happens
later via a struct field, a registry lookup or comptime reflection.
impact()/context() nonetheless reported such a target as `epistemic: 'exact'`.
For lightpanda-io/browser that meant the DOM `Element.namespaceURI` accessor
came back with two internal callers, LOW risk and a claim of completeness —
worse than no answer, because 'exact' tells the reader not to look further.
tools.ts defines 'lower-bound' as "the walk provably missed callers", which is
precisely this case.
computeEpistemicBoundary now probes for inbound USES edges stamped with the
value-ref reason and hedges when it finds any, contributing a boundary note and
a new `causes.callableValueReferences` (unit: distinct referrer symbols).
Read from the graph, not from index metadata: unlike a dropped receiver — which
leaves no edge to find and therefore needs a persisted summary — a value
reference IS in the graph. So the signal needs no re-index and no analyzer
change, and it works on indexes written before this commit.
The cause gets its own slot rather than joining `dispatchBoundary`: a value
referrer is neither an implementation nor an interface-level consumer, and the
two differ in what the reader should do about them — a dispatch boundary is
irreducible, a callable value usually becomes traceable once the provider
models the store/load that carries it.
Language-neutral: every provider that emits a `value-ref` capture participates.
The writer and the reader now share VALUE_REF_EDGE_REASON, because drift
between them would fail silently — the probe would match nothing and every
answer would go back to claiming certainty.
