Closes #74.

Java Type::method was not a --uses / --callers site. Widget.makeFn() already minted a call edge; Widget::makeFn did not, so the lambda form and the method-reference form disagreed. The receiver is a type name and the member is a literal identifier, so the target is fixed at compile time — the same as the lambda three lines away.

Change

  • queries/java/tags.scm captures the member name after :: on a method_reference. The pinned grammar uses the same identifier node for Widget and widget, so the query is not a type proof.
  • Ingest stamps the site JavaTypeCandidate. src/graph.h admits an ordinary call edge only when the receiver can be proven to denote an indexed Java type; an active Java parameter, local, or field binding on the ambiguous leading receiver name vetoes the edge, while nested and package-qualified type receivers are handled explicitly.
  • widget::instanceFn, this::thisFn, super::superFn, and Widget::new stay unresolved. The receiver identifier is never the callee.

Evidence

  • test/javamethodrefcheck.sh: callers of makeFn are exactly genericTypeMethod, lambdaForm, nestedTypeMethod, and typeMethod. instanceFn, thisFn, superFn, Widget, and widget have no callers. Rewriting Widget::makeFn removes only typeMethod.
  • test/callformcheck.sh: Java --uses=makeFn is 2 (the static call plus Type::method).
  • Parser version 97 in src/ingest_cache.h / src/quality.h; test/qextractionkeycheck.sh and test/qschemetripcheck.sh match that extraction identity. test/regression.sh absorbs javamethodrefcheck.

Capture method_reference member names after :: and admit an ordinary call
edge only when the receiver is an indexed class name with no declaration
shadow. Expression, this, super, and Type::new stay unresolved.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Java method references such as Type::method are now captured and resolved when the referenced type is valid.
    • Improved handling prevents incorrect resolutions when local variables, parameters, or fields shadow type names.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Java method-reference call counts and target attribution are now more accurate.
    • Constructor references and unsupported receiver forms remain excluded from resolution.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive regression coverage, including nested, qualified, and lambda-based references.
    • The new Java method-reference check is included in the regression suite.
  • Documentation

    • Updated gate-suite documentation and presentation materials from 618 to 619 gate scripts.

Walkthrough

The change captures Java Type::method references, resolves unshadowed type receivers, updates parser-cache versions from 97 to 98, adds regression coverage, and updates documented gate counts from 618 to 619.

Changes

Java method-reference resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture candidates and shadowing evidence
queries/java/tags.scm, src/model.h, src/ingest_binds.h, src/ingest_sidecap.h
Java method references now capture member identifiers as JavaTypeCandidate values. Java fields, locals, parameters, and inferred lambda parameters provide lexical shadowing evidence.
Prove receivers and resolve calls
src/graph.h
Graph resolution accepts indexed, unshadowed type receivers. Failed proofs remain unresolved and do not enter the name ladder.
Refresh caches and validate behavior
src/ingest_cache.h, src/quality.h, test/javamethodreffix/*, test/javamethodrefcheck.sh, test/callformcheck.sh, test/callformfix/java/Main.java, test/regression.sh, test/qschemetrip.*
Parser identity versions move from 97 to 98. Fixtures and gates cover valid references, constructors, package-qualified and nested receivers, shadowing, mutation, and deterministic output.
Update gate-count references
README.md, docs/EVALS.md, present/deck5_ripwire_build.js
Documentation and presentation text update the gate-script count from 618 to 619.

Inline comments:
In `@src/graph.h`:
- Line 2230: Update the JavaTypeCandidate receiver-path shadowing check around
typeProven so fieldNarrow.localNameSet is consulted only for the leading segment
of r.recvVar; allow subsequent member-type segments such as Outer.Inner to
resolve normally. Do not add span-ordering logic, and preserve existing handling
for RecvKind::None references.
- Around line 2220-2233: Update the Java method-reference receiver handling
around classNames and fieldNarrow.localNameSet to resolve the complete
package-qualified receiver (such as com.example.Widget) against the indexed type
identity, while applying caller shadowing only to the leading receiver segment.
Preserve existing unqualified and nested-type behavior, and add fixture coverage
for com.example.Widget::makeFn.

In `@src/ingest_binds.h`:
- Around line 1473-1474: Update the Java handling in captureShadowScopeDecls to
record inferred lambda parameter identifiers as LocalBindKind::VarDecl in
localNameSet, covering identifiers directly under lambda_expression and nested
under inferred_parameters. Extend the Java method-reference regression fixture
to cover both Widget -> ... and (Widget) -> ... forms, ensuring
Widget::instanceFn remains unresolved.
- Around line 1469-1482: Preserve lexical scope for Java VarDecl bindings
emitted by the Java branch: populate declaration points and enclosing scopes
instead of using empty BindSite spans. Update buildFieldNarrowTables and the
RecvKind::JavaTypeCandidate check to veto only declarations whose scope contains
r.startByte, while retaining class-field evidence for containing methods. Add
fixtures covering declarations after the reference and in sibling blocks.

In `@test/javamethodrefcheck.sh`:
- Around line 85-86: Update the unused uses_in_ids helper to accept a symbol
argument and invoke it for the original fixture with typeMethod,
nestedTypeMethod, and genericTypeMethod, asserting each is present. Add
equivalent checks against $MUT, asserting typeMethod is absent while
nestedTypeMethod and genericTypeMethod remain present; remove the hard-coded
conv usage.

Prove package-qualified and nested type receivers without treating every
dotted segment as a class or a method-wide local. Java shadow binds now
carry lexical spans, inferred lambda parameters are captured, and
--uses=makeFn asserts the Type::method callers.
