Base is main (bcd3b016, train 2 / #265 merged in once as 9ac655ed). kParserVer and test/qschemetrip.hash are untouched: class identity reads facts ingest already extracts.

The defect

On rocksdb, void AssertItersEqual( Iterator* iter1, Iterator* iter2 ) { … iter1->key() … } answered with five edges to the nested Iterator classes inside memtable/'s skip lists, and none of them was right.

  • Rule 2 keys a receiver's type by its final class-name segment.
  • A nested class keeps only that segment: SkipList<Key, Comparator>::Iterator::key has scope Iterator.
  • rocksdb::Iterator's methods are pure-virtual declarations, which the definitions-only canonByName never holds.
  • So the only Iterator::key Rule 2 could find were namesakes.

#248 disclosed 79 such parameter sites. Typed locals (Iterator* iter = db->NewIterator( … )) have the same shape, and there are more than a thousand of them.

The change

Rule 2 now reads the call through class identity, rebuilt from facts ingest already has. The index is ClassIdentity in resolve.h:

  • byte spans give each class its enclosing class and each member its owner;
  • inherit references give the class graph;
  • include targets and namespace scopes supply evidence.

IdentityNarrower (resolve.h) owns the narrowing, called from Narrower::rule2RecvVarType:

  1. Keep the hits whose owner the written type can name. This is C++ lookup outward from the caller, or a qualifier naming the enclosing class. When every hit is kept, own itself is returned, byte-identical.
  2. With nothing left, and one claimable class, take the shallowest ancestor that defines the method.
  3. If the ancestry only declares it, resolve to its definitions in the class's real subclasses. This is the dispatch split a virtual call through an interface is.

Steps 2–3 are claims, flagged so the ladder keeps them whole (graph.h, line-neutral: rankGraphTeleport stays at 3404). A claim is never trimmed to the same-file override.

Guards. Each one exists because an intermediate build made a wrong edge on a real corpus:

guard the wrong edge it stops arm
A forward declaration (class Iterator;) is not a class rocksdb has five at namespace scope; they made every bare Iterator look ambiguous and refused the dispatch 31
Namespace-level namesakes are told apart by include evidence: path-precise, else an include-root target read as a path suffix, else a shared namespace IntrinsicInst* II; II->getType() landed on sandboxir::Value::getType (llvm); a basename was not enough, since three Value.h hold three Values 33
A nested class visible through the caller's includes is never dropped using NodeSet = MachineGadgetGraph::NodeSet; (llvm X86 LVI): the alias is invisible to the index and the fix dropped the right class for an unincluded namesake 32
A claim through a namespace qualifier needs that namespace's evidence in the class's file a namespace-qualified third-party map<K, V> m; m.emplace( … ) became a different vendored library's same-named container's emplace (private corpus)
Exclusions don't need namespace evidence; claims do port::Mutex dropped its port_win.h platform variant
Explain or keep: identity replaces an answer only with one it can explain; two same-named classes defining the method at one ancestor level refuse MultiGetRange::Iterator mget_iter (using MultiGetRange = MultiGetContext::Range) lost its edge (rocksdb) 29, 30
An inherited body is claimed where the ladder declines cross-directory candidates, no include narrow: 397 rocksdb calls had no edge 34

Measured

Method: --pin-census --no-cache, comparing the lane's pre-merge base (50129f8c, which already carried #248/#254/#257's target-changing commits) against the lane head 6a32bd5c. The two binaries differ by this lane's two commits alone, so the numbers are this change's own; they predate the merge with main. Every change bucket on the three external corpora was sampled and read against source on the final build.

corpus call sites changing target bound=
rocksdb @ 0e2801ac3 2,659 200,036 → 201,085
llvm-project @ 4d5358b1d 37,949 of 1,790,841 1,126,051 → 1,153,808
private C++/ObjC++ corpus 177 80,582 → 80,646
this repo src/ 0 unchanged

rocksdb (largest buckets):

  • 995 namesake splits become the real Iterator implementations: DBIter, ArenaWrappedDBIter, ModelIter, …, 11 for key.
  • 638 declined calls gain a dispatch split: Statistics::getTickerCount, DB::DefaultColumnFamily.
  • 397 declined calls gain their inherited body: IOStatus io_s; io_s.ok()Status::ok.
  • 276 partial splits complete: Comparator::Compare, 6 → 26 targets.
  • 88 wrong unique pins become the interface's implementations: env->DeleteFile had pinned an unrelated file system.

llvm-project:

  • 21,408 declined calls gain their inherited body: LD->getAlign()MemSDNode::getAlign, e->getRHS()BinaryOperator::getRHS.
  • About 8,800 wrong or partial answers move to the right base: FD->getType()ValueDecl::getType, E->getType()Expr::getType, Val.getBitWidth()APInt::getBitWidth.
  • The remaining splits are genuine const/non-const overload pairs.

Cost (llvm-project, two cold runs each):

user time peak RSS
tip 52.4 s / 52.9 s 2.47 / 2.37 GB
this branch 50.9 s / 55.9 s 2.40 / 2.36 GB

Output is byte-identical run to run on llvm-project, rocksdb and the private corpus, and xmllint is clean.

Sampled correctness (direction, not just counts)

Sample. A seeded uniform sample (seed 268): 30 of rocksdb's 2,659 retargeted call sites and 30 of llvm-project's 37,949.

Method. Each site was graded against source, independently of the new answer:

  1. find the receiver's declared static type;
  2. apply C++ name lookup and, for a virtual call through a pointer or reference, the overriders;
  3. grade the old and new answers each as RIGHT / PARTIAL / WRONG / NONE (no edge).
corpus before: RIGHT / PARTIAL / WRONG / NONE after: RIGHT / PARTIAL / WRONG / NONE better / same / worse
rocksdb 9 / 0 / 9 / 12 28 / 1 / 1 / 0 28 / 1 / 1
llvm-project 1 / 0 / 14 / 15 27 / 1 / 2 / 0 28 / 1 / 1

Overall, on the lane before the two fixes below: 56 of 60 better (Wilson 95%: 84–97%) and 2 of 60 worse (0.9–11%).

After the specialization fix below, the llvm worse site holds its right target inside a disclosed split (NONE → PARTIAL). The same 60 then read 57 better, 2 same and 1 worse, and the one worse is the stated floor below.

Better, typically:

  • Iterator* it; it->Seek(k): rocksdb's unrelated memtable Iterator classes → all 11 real overriders.
  • IOStatus s; s.ToString(): no edge → Status::ToString.
  • LoadInst& LI; LI.getType(): four unrelated file-local getTypeValue::getType.
  • DIType* T; T->getTag(): unrelated AsmPrinter classes → DINode::getTag.

Worse (2): one fixed, one measured and kept as a stated floor.

  • llvm, SmallVectorImpl<FunctionDecl *>& v; v.push_back( FD ): fixed (83c1718f, arm 38).
    • What went wrong: the answer was the primary SmallVectorTemplateBase::push_back, but pointer T instantiates SmallVectorTemplateBase<T, true>. That specialization has no class symbol, and its members are scoped SmallVectorTemplateBase<T, true>, so the walk never saw them.
    • Fix: a defining level now adds its template's specialization-scoped definitions (ClassIdentity::specializationDefs). A primary template's own out-of-line DominatorTreeBase<NodeT, IsPostDom>::verify bodies are included.
    • The CHA-lite cone prune now skips an identity claim, as the ladder and locality already do. The cone cannot name TBase<T, true> and was dropping exactly these bodies.
    • This site is now split {primary ×2, <T, true>}: it holds the right target.
  • rocksdb, BackupEngine* e; e->RestoreDBFromLatestBackup( RestoreOptions, dir, dir ): a stated FLOOR (arm 37).
    • BackupEngineReadOnlyBase pairs a pure-virtual overload with an inline compatibility overload, and the claim takes the compatibility body.
    • I built the fix (83c1718f): join the receiver's subclass definitions when a level declares more bodiless overloads than it has bodies.
    • A build with only that join disabled isolates its effect: exactly 7 rocksdb sites and 0 llvm.
    • Graded against source, those 7 read 2 better and 5 worse. The 5 call the compatibility overload, which was already right, and the join added an override of the other overload. Arity cannot tell the two overloads apart; only argument types could.
    • The join is removed (e5ca33b5) and the limit is stated.

What the specialization fix changes (census, pre-fix merge 9ac655ed vs e5ca33b5):

corpus sites changing target
llvm-project 366
rocksdb 0
private corpus 0
src/ 0

The head's census is byte-identical to the "fix minus the join" build on both rocksdb and llvm.

Of llvm's 366:

  • 169 had no edge;
  • 21 unique and 11 split answers go from an unrelated class to the template member (DT.verify(): LoopFuse's FusionCandidate::verifyDominatorTreeBase<…>::verify);
  • 120 push_back/pop_back/contains splits gain their specialization or out-of-line overload.

A seeded sample of 20, graded against source, reads 20 better and 0 worse:

  • 12 are now RIGHT (from 10 NONE and 2 WRONG): non-virtual template-base members such as DominatorTreeBase::recalculate, GenericDomTreeUpdater::applyUpdates and LoopInfoBase::verify.
  • 8 are WRONG → PARTIAL: SmallVectorImpl<T>::push_back where T is trivially copyable, now a split holding the <T, true> body next to the primary's pair.

With these changes, the original 60 read 57 better, 2 same and 1 worse: the one worse is the stated rocksdb floor.

Same quality (2):

  • rocksdb Env* base; base->IsInstanceOf( n ): the inherited Customizable::IsInstanceOf body replaces one subclass override. This is the stated floor: an inherited body is the static answer.
  • llvm BinaryOperator& B; B.getOperand( 0 ): DECLARE_TRANSPARENT_OPERAND_ACCESSORS declares a hiding getOperand through a macro, which the index cannot see. Both answers are wrong.

Found while sampling, out of scope: Rule 2 binds no type for an UNQUALIFIED template-id (SmallVectorImpl<T>& v), because writtenTypeOf returns no type for template_type. Fixing that is an extraction change (a kParserVer bump) and should follow #256's template-family index. It is a separate lane.

Arm 37 is a stated floor, which goes red if the behaviour moves. Arms 30, 31, 33 and (36c) are controls. Arm 33 was red on the intermediate build that dropped an aliased nested class.

Checks:

  • Full suite:
    • on the head (binary stamped e5ca33b5e): gates=635 pass=632 skip=3 fail=0;
    • on fe909208 (with the since-dropped join): gates=635 pass=632 skip=3 fail=0;
    • on the merge 9ac655ed: gates=635 pass=631 skip=3 fail=1 (recallevalcheck 6b, resolved below);
    • before the merge (6a32bd5ca): gates=632 pass=629 skip=3 fail=0.
    • The skips are environmental: editchecknotecheck and argvdiffcheck want a reference binary, and g1freshcheck has no local asan/.
  • quality-delta: gating="0" over both --quality-delta=bcd3b016..HEAD (the merge-base with main) and, before the merge, 50129f8c..HEAD.
    • The first run gated 8 rows; they were fixed in code, not acked:
      • Narrower's verbosity went 409 → 800, so the identity logic moved into its own IdentityNarrower;
      • nine new functions over the complexity bar (and two over the params bar) were split;
      • the duplication and clone rows went by reusing extent::inSet with kHeadRuleLangs/kExtentClassKinds, symbolsByFileInIdOrder, and a flat sorted include index instead of new helpers.
    • Each refactor step was proven output-identical by cmp of census and map on rocksdb, llvm-project, the private corpus and src/.
    • The one ack is rule2RecvVarType's 1 → 3 parameter contract change (the index and the chaUp graph).
    • Two non-gating rows remain: IdentityNarrower is a new 448-line struct, and buildGraph's complexity goes up by 4 (780 → 784 on main, minor).
  • Generators: docs/gatecount_build.py --check and docs/limits_build.py --check both clean.
  • ASan: not run locally, per the machine rule. The stale asan/ tree was removed, so g1freshcheck skips; CI's ASan legs cover it.

recallevalcheck 6b now asserts the anchor's published promise (test-only, fe909208)

What flipped. On this branch arm 6b went red by 0.013 of score with no ranking change:

  • It asserted a top-5 RANK for --for="fix the virtual dispatch in test/chafix/cha.cpp", read off the live repo.
  • The mention anchor promises a score: "lifted to within 5% of the top score" (--help, the for header). The anchored rows sit at exactly 0.95 × top.
  • The rank therefore hung on whether an unanchored near-tie sits above that line:
tree top score anchored (0.95 × top) next unanchored row (test/chaconefix/zoo.h::Creature)
main bcd3b016 18.676 17.743 17.622 (0.7% margin)
this branch 18.393 17.473 17.486

This branch's comments and gate helpers use "virtual"/"dispatch", which lowers those terms' IDF.

What 6b asserts now: the anchor ran (anchored > 0), the fixture is in the top 50, and its best row scores ≥ 0.95 × top (0.001 tolerance for 4-decimal scores). mentioncheck already pins the rank behaviour on frozen fixtures.

Evidence and scope:

  • Red with the anchor disabled (RIPWIRE_NO_MENTION=1): score=absent from the top 50 … (anchored=0).
  • Green here: 17.473 >= 0.95 x 18.3927 (anchored=4).
  • No default, flag or published promise changed.

Merged with train 2 (#254's prov="final-segment")

9ac655ed merges origin/main once, with rerere off:

Floors, stated

  • Namespaces are evidence, not a model. A same-named class in another namespace that the caller's file also includes stays a candidate.
  • A type alias is kept, not read through.
  • An inherited body is the static answer, as a class's own body always was; overriders join only for a method no ancestor defines.
  • A dispatch split is as wide as the interface's implementations: up to 50 targets on rocksdb and 71 on the private corpus, every one disclosed by amb=.
  • A nested class's out-of-line member defined in a different file than the class has no known owner, and is kept.

Pins moved

None: no legend, byte, printf_parity, capture, gate-count or parser-version pin moved. narrowcheck gains arms 25–34.

… nested classes of the same name

`AssertItersEqual( Iterator* iter1, Iterator* iter2 ) { … iter1->key() … }` (rocksdb) answered with five edges to the
nested Iterator classes inside memtable/'s skip lists, none right: Rule 2 keys a receiver type by its final class-name
segment, a nested class keeps only that segment, and rocksdb::Iterator's pure-virtual methods are never in the
definitions-only map. #248 disclosed 79 parameter sites; typed locals share the shape.

Rule 2 now reads calls through class identity (resolve.h ClassIdentity, built from existing ingest facts — no
extraction change, kParserVer unmoved): spans give enclosing classes and member owners, inherit references the class
graph. identityNarrow (1) drops hits owned by a nested class the written type cannot name (C++ lookup outward from the
caller; a qualifier naming the enclosing class), (2) with none left takes the shallowest real ancestor defining the
callee, (3) when the ancestry only declares it resolves to its definitions in the real subclasses — a dispatch split,
kept whole past the locality ladder (graph.h, line-neutral: rankGraphTeleport stays at 3404). Guards, each from a
wrong edge an intermediate build made on a corpus: forward declarations are not classes; namespace-level namesakes are
told apart by include evidence (path-precise, else an include-root target read as a path suffix, else a shared
namespace); a nested class visible through the caller's includes is never dropped (type aliases); identity replaces
an answer only with one it can explain.

…ype, arms renumbered after #254's 25, identity claims carry no prov="final-segment"

origin/main bcd3b01 brings #248, #254 and #257. Two files conflicted; rerere was off and no recorded resolution was used.

- src/resolve.h: #254 added a namespace-level RecvVarType {name, writtenQualified}, and this lane added a nested
  Narrower::RecvVarType {name, declared}. Git merged the second in beside the first, so it would have shadowed it. Both
  are now ONE namespace-level struct {name, writtenQualified, declared}; recvVarType fills all three, and
  finalSegmentTypeAt is #254's own.
- test/narrowcheck.sh: #254's arm 25 (prov="final-segment") keeps its number. This lane's arms 25-34 become 26-35;
  expectProv/provOf take an optional map file ("${5:-}" under set -u).
- src/graph.h (line-neutral; rankGraphTeleport stays at 3404): an identity CLAIM verified its one class before
  answering, so its edges are not a last-name guess. Two lines change in place: `&& !identityClaim` joins the
  finalSegmentType condition, and its comment is reworded. A class-qualified step-1 narrow keeps the disclosure.
- Arm 36, `hs::DiskHealth& d; d.fine()` claiming the inherited HealthBase::fine through namespace evidence:
  (36a) the edge, (36b) no prov=, (36c) `Skip::Iterator& it; it.key()` keeps prov="final-segment". A build without
  the graph.h condition fails (36b) with prov=[final-segment].
- CHANGELOG entry and ack text: the arm numbers only.

… a template specialization's body was never reached

The sampled review of this lane's retargets (30 rocksdb + 30 llvm sites, each graded against source) found two sites
that went from no edge to a wrong one. Each is one shape.

- A class that DECLARES an overload without a body beside one it defines. rocksdb's `BackupEngine* e;
  e->RestoreDBFromLatestBackup( opts, dir, dir )` claimed BackupEngineReadOnlyBase's inline compat overload, but the
  overload called is pure virtual there. When a defining level's class declares more bodiless overloads of the name
  than the level holds out-of-line bodies for, the receiver's subclass definitions (step 3) join the level's: a
  disclosed split that holds the right one. B2.2 arity still drops a joined overload the argument count rules out.
  ClassIdentity counts bodiless declarations per class (bodilessInClass, replacing the per-build local set
  assignOutOfLineOwner read). An instrumented build counted 7 such claims on rocksdb and 16 on llvm-project.
- A class template SPECIALIZATION. llvm's `SmallVectorImpl<FunctionDecl *>& v; v.push_back( FD )` claimed the primary
  SmallVectorTemplateBase::push_back, while pointer T instantiates SmallVectorTemplateBase<T, true>. A specialization
  has no class symbol and its members' scope `TBase<T, true>` names no class, so the ancestor walk never saw them.
  ClassIdentity::specializationDefs indexes definitions scoped to a template-id by the template's name. A defining
  level adds the ones whose file sees the class's, which is the family split one instantiation picks from; a primary
  template's own `TBase<T, B>::m` out-of-line bodies land there too. The CHA-lite cone prune (graph.h, line-neutral)
  now skips a class-identity claim, as the ladder and locality already do: the claim is type-verified, and the cone
  cannot name a specialization's scope, so it dropped exactly these bodies. 133 llvm-project rows had this shape.

Gate: test/narrowcheck.sh arms 37-38, 55 PASS. RED on the pre-fix build: (37a) [engine.h:5] alone, (38) [adt.h:7]
alone. Controls (37b) a declaration whose body is out of line elsewhere never joins a hiding subclass read(), and (37c)
arity drops the joined one-parameter override; both are green before and after.

… promise, not a rank read off the live repo

Arm 6b asserted that `--for="fix the virtual dispatch in test/chafix/cha.cpp"` puts the named fixture in the top 5 of
the LIVE repo. The anchor never promised a rank. `--help` and the `for` header both say the named file's score is
"lifted to within 5% of the top score", and mentioncheck pins the rank behaviour on frozen fixtures. On the live repo
the anchored rows sit at exactly 0.95 x top, so the arm really measured whether any UNANCHORED row sat between
0.95 x top and the top:
- main bcd3b01: top 18.676, anchored 17.743, test/chaconefix/zoo.h::Creature 17.622. PASS, with a 0.7% margin.
- lane/param-iface-overriders: top 18.393, anchored 17.473, Creature 17.486. FAIL by 0.013.
  - Comments and gate helpers containing "virtual"/"dispatch" lowered those terms' IDF.
  - No ranking or resolver behaviour changed.

The arm now reads the top 50 and asserts three things: the anchor ran (anchored > 0), the fixture's best row is present,
and that row scores >= 0.95 x top, with a 0.001 tolerance for the 4-decimal scores. No default, flag or published promise
changes; this is test-only. RED with the anchor off: RIPWIRE_NO_MENTION=1 gives "score=absent from the top 50 ...
(anchored=0)". GREEN on this branch: 17.473 >= 0.95 x 18.3927 (anchored=4).

Handle cap exhaustion as a degraded Rule 2 result. IdentityNarrower::inheritedDefinitions and subclassDefinitions stop after 16 and 32 levels. A remaining frontier is discarded silently. subclassDefinitions then memoizes its partial hits, and graph.h:2405 uses them as the Rule 2 claim. A valid deep hierarchy can therefore omit runtime targets. Detect cap exhaustion in each walk, emit DEGRADED_PATH_ALERT, and avoid claiming or memoizing partial results. Otherwise, remove the bounds.

…r and 5 worse; state it as a floor

83c1718 joined a receiver's subclass definitions whenever a defining level declared more bodiless overloads of the name
than it had out-of-line bodies (rocksdb's pure-virtual RestoreDB* beside an inline compat overload). The census isolates
that join: a build of 83c1718 with only the join disabled differs on exactly 7 rocksdb sites and 0 llvm-project sites.
An independent grading against source put 2 of the 7 better (RestoreOptions-first calls, whose base-only answer was
wrong) and 5 worse: those 5 call the compat overload, which already answered right, and the join added an override of
the other overload. Arity cannot tell the two overloads apart; only argument types could.

The join is removed. assignOutOfLineOwner reads its per-build set again, byte-for-byte as before. The specialization
index and the claim's cone-prune skip stay. narrowcheck arm 37 is now a stated floor pinning the compat body (red if
the floor moves); arm 38 is unchanged. 53 PASS. CHANGELOG: the sample, the specialization fix (366 llvm-project sites;
a graded sample of 20 reads 12 right and 8 holding the right target in a split, 0 worse) and the new floor.

Trains 2b and 1b carried #244 without an entry. Written from the PR's description (the rule,
its scope, the webpack/node/zod census) and fb0f667 (a signed number literal, from CodeRabbit
on #277), placed before #268's entry so the train entries stay in landing order, with its
parser versions (100 on train 2b, 103 on train 1b) and @csy20's credit.

… its root-relative tail again

Red on #281's CI (xmlwellformed `--edit-check (fixture)`, every shard-3 leg; root cause from the #268
session): lane/small-fixes-0917's A1 (d33e452) made filePathContainsRootRel match the ROOT-RELATIVE path
only, so `ripwire "$ROOT/test/fixture" --edit-check=test/fixture/geometry.cpp:distance` — a selector
spelled from the cwd — refused a file 0.6.1 found. The same held for `./a.cpp` under `ripwire .`,
`../repo/a.cpp` under `ripwire ../repo` and an absolute path, on every file:name, --at, --verify and
--affected selector, since they share the helper.

ingest() now records IngestResult::crawlRootPrefixes once: the root as typed, the root relative to the
cwd, and its absolute spellings (joined onto $PWD — trusted only when its realpath is getcwd — and onto
getcwd, plus the root's realpath, so /var and /private/var both reach a macOS temp root); "." marks a root
that is the cwd. filePathContainsRootRel tries the root-relative match first, then graph.h
selectorRootTail strips a recorded prefix and matches the tail root-relative. No per-verb change;
editpreview copies the field; a multi-root merge leaves it empty like crawlRoot.

Gate: test/rootspellingcheck.sh arm (6) — `<root as typed>/`, absolute and cwd-relative selectors on
--edit-check, --callers, --at and --affected under all six root spellings (12 arms), plus a refusal
control per form (a cwd-spelled path to no indexed file). On the c1ec699-equivalent binary the 12
positive arms fail under every spelling; 106 PASS after. test/xmlwellformed.sh is unchanged and passes.
CHANGELOG: small-fixes' root-spelling entry says so.

…e, or the wrong class

Rule 2 reads a receiver's type off its declaration, and ingest_binds.h writtenTypeOf recorded one only for a
type_identifier or a qualified name. An unqualified template-id — `SmallVectorImpl<FunctionDecl *> &v`,
`autovector<VersionEdit*> edits`, the way code inside its own namespace writes them — is a template_type node and
recorded nothing, so `v.push_back( FD )` never reached Rule 2 or class identity while its qualified twin
`llvm::SmallVectorImpl<…>&` did. The qualified path cut the spelling at its FIRST `<` (finalSegment), so
`Outer<int>::Inner& in` recorded `Outer`: a precise edge to `Outer::size` wherever the outer class defines the
method, and a fall to the name ladder where it does not (86 `X<…>::Y` receivers change target on the two corpora).

The fix reads the last name through the grammar's own fields (lastNameNode: a qualified name's `name`, then a
template-id's `name`) for written types and constructor names alike, and qualifiedNameText asks the same tree
whether a scope was written, so a `::` inside a template ARGUMENT (`Vec<std::string>`) no longer marks the type
qualified or stamps prov="final-segment" on its edge. scoped_type_identifier leaves the accepted kinds: no grammar
that reaches this path (cpp, cuda, objc parser.c) has the symbol.

Built and dropped: accepting an unqualified template_function constructor (`auto v = Vec<T>()`). It is every cast
helper's spelling, recorded `dyn_cast` / `cast` as the type of `auto *CI = dyn_cast<CallInst>( I )` and
`Spec = cast<FunctionDecl>( F )`, and tombstoned their written types: 994 more llvm-project sites retargeted, 779 of
them edges lost (census diff of the build with and without it; of twelve sites read, ten show a cast-helper assignment or initialiser in the lines read, two were not traced). It is a stated floor,
narrowcheck arm 39d.

Measured, `--pin-census --no-cache`, C rows joined on (caller id, callee, line), main 13a1916 vs this change:
rocksdb 0e2801ac3 640 target-changed sites, bound +347; llvm-project 4d5358b1d 5,231 sites, bound +3,589. Composed
with redhat-et#268 (scratch merge of e5ca33b + this commit, never pushed): 657 and 18,050 sites, bound +12,702 on llvm.
Seeded sample of 100 (seed 20260917; 20 + 30 standalone, 12 + 38 composed), graded blind by independent readers
with A/B order randomised per site: 99 better, 1 same, 0 worse — 62 NONE->RIGHT, 24 WRONG->RIGHT, 5 PARTIAL->RIGHT,
1 WRONG->PARTIAL, 7 NONE->PARTIAL (redhat-et#268's template-family split), 1 PARTIAL->PARTIAL. Every lost edge was read:
none on rocksdb; nine on llvm — seven a name declared twice in one function with different types (Rule 2's flat
per-function table drops both, as for two plain types), two `auto T = EytzingerTable<…>::create( … )` that recorded
`EytzingerTable` only through the cut and now read `create`, as `Foo::create()` always did.

kParserVer 99 -> 103 with its quality.h mirror (100-102 are declared by the lanes queued ahead; the landing train
assigns the number); test/qschemetrip.hash re-pinned with a RE-PIN LOG entry. Record layouts unchanged.

Gate: test/narrowcheck.sh arms 39-43 (fixture generated in-gate). Red on main 13a1916: 39a-c, 40a-b, 41a-c, 43
(9 rows). Red on redhat-et#268's head e5ca33b: those nine plus arm 42 x3 — the qualified twin splits to both TBase
push_backs, the unqualified parameter, local and in-namespace twins decline. Red on a variant that reads
qualification off the whole spelling: 40b alone (prov=[final-segment]). Green on this commit and on the redhat-et#268
composition (redhat-et#268's arms 26-38 too). provOf/expectProv gain redhat-et#268's optional map argument byte-identically.

train 1's kQSnapCacheScheme 14. test/qschemetrip.hash keeps train 1b's pin here; it is
re-derived once on the final merged tree.

…rrows Rule 2 onto train 4

The lane is based on main before train 3, so it never saw redhat-et#268's class identity or redhat-et#235's
javaNarrower:
- src/resolve.h: Narrower keeps IdentityNarrower identity and gains reexportUnion; its
  constructor takes the reexport table and initializes usingReexports then identity, in
  declaration order.
- src/graph.h: usingReexports is built once and passed to both the C++ narrower and redhat-et#235's
  javaNarrower (a Java tree has no using-declarations, so the Java instance never reads it).
- CHANGELOG.md: the train's entries in merge order at the end of Unreleased (lane 1's entry
  moved down after it had merged in above main's).

…class declares onto train 5

lane/field-base-member at 6b8f539 ONLY (signed off). Its tip 1965da7 is left out: that recalleval arm 6b change is
superseded by redhat-et#268's arm 6b on main. No extraction change, so no parser or cache version moves.

One copy of what redhat-et#280 already put on main: Narrower::kFieldWalkCap and Narrower::memberFieldNames (byte-identical body)
and graph.h's single memberFields line (its comment now names both readers, Rule 2c's member-field veto and Rule 2b's
declared-member set). expandWalkLevel keeps the lane's bool form: it visits exactly the names main's void form did
and also reports a walk the cap cut, which fieldEntryAt refuses on; methodOnTypeOrBases, inBaseClosure and
memberFieldHides ignore the result as before. The final-segment question keeps main's identityClaim guard with the
lane's FieldRecvTables argument.

test/fieldnarrowcheck.sh: this lane and lane/rule2b-assignment-veto each added an arm (v). Both are kept; this lane's is
renamed (w), with its own fixture variables (FIX8, wMissing, wPinned, $TMP/w7*), and resolve.h's and CHANGELOG's
references follow. docs/LIMITS.md is regenerated (221 caps).
