The defect

Rule 2c reads Cls.m() through a class name as a call on that class. It refused only when a local of that name
exists. Inside a C++ member function, name lookup finds a member of the class or of a base before any namespace-scope
class, so a member named like a class is the member. Two llvm-project @ 4d5358b1d instances were graded while reviewing
lane/ctor-inferred-type. Each resolved to one precise, wrong edge:

  • llvm/lib/DebugInfo/LogicalView/Core/LVReader.cpp:175 OutputFile->keep(). The member is
    std::unique_ptr<ToolOutputFile> OutputFile (LVReader.h:35). It resolved to llvm/lib/Support/VirtualOutputFile.cpp
    OutputFile::keep.
  • llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/SampleProfile.cpp:1962 Reader->read(). The member is the base-class
    std::unique_ptr<SampleProfileReader> Reader (SampleProfileLoaderBaseImpl.h:318). It resolved to msgpack Reader::read.

Why this PR has two commits

The veto alone, as first specified, graded net-worse on llvm-project:

  • It lost 1,772 edges.
  • A seeded, blinded sample of 60 retargets graded 23 better / 3 same / 34 worse.

33 of the 34 worse sites are one mechanism. clang's CodeGenFunction has a member CGBuilderTy Builder, and
class CGBuilderTy : public CGBuilderBaseTy is declared with typedef llvm::IRBuilder<…> CGBuilderBaseTy;. On main,
Builder.CreateCall() reached IRBuilderBase::CreateCall only by coincidence: a class Builder : IRBuilder in
HexagonVectorCombine.cpp. Once the member hides that class, Rule 2b types Builder as CGBuilderTy, and its base
walk dead-ends at the typedef.

So the first commit makes aliases walkable, and the second adds the veto on top. The owner chose this order in the lane
session.

1. fb90a34a fix(resolve): a base class or member type reached through a C++ typedef or using alias ended the base walk

What records. ingest_relations.h captureTypeAlias records a plain C/C++/ObjC alias of a named class. It handles
typedef, including multi-declarator typedefs, and using X = Y;. The record rides the compose shape:

  • composeRel "alias", with an empty fieldName
  • recvVar = the alias
  • name = the target class
  • qualifier = the namespace the target was written in

It is collected on the side stream and appended after the walk, so refs keeps one writer per language during it.

What reads it. resolve.h addTypeAliasBases adds alias → target to chaUp only. It is refused, or not followed, in
these cases:

  • A target written in std.
  • An alias whose name is also a real class elsewhere: a class-like symbol at a line no alias record holds. A typedef is
    itself a Struct symbol at its name's line.
  • graph.h's HAS-A loop refuses the record, so it adds no compose row.

Also covered: alias templates. template <typename T> using SetTy = SmallPtrSet<T, 8>; is an alias_declaration inside a template declaration, so a member typed SetTy<Foo> walks on to SmallPtrSet and its bases. The first version of this PR body did not disclose this; the independent review named it.

Known floor (arm t11, from the independent review). An alias records its target's class name without template arguments. typedef SubT<marks> subtree; with marks the enclosing template's own parameter walks to the primary SubT::is_null alone, dropping SubT<true>::is_null (rocksdb omt_impl.h, subtree_templated<true>). That is a lost candidate, not a wrong-class pin; main split over both. The control typedef SubT<false> narrows correctly.

What never records. Pointer, reference, array and function aliases; targets that name no class; self-aliases;
function-local aliases.

Pins. The cache format is unchanged. kParserVer goes to 111, declared over main's 110 after train 3 merged (first declared 105); the landing train assigns the real one.

2. 36aa4f56 fix(resolve): a C++ member named like a class was read as that class

  • Narrower::memberFieldNames builds "<Owner>#<field>" from the C/C++ field side table. That table holds every
    declarator shape, including the std::unique_ptr<T> members Rule 2b's compose table skips.
  • memberFieldHides walks the caller's class and its chaUp bases.
  • Rule 2c refuses a C++/ObjC receiver that names such a member. It also refuses when the 16-name walk stops with a base
    unvisited.
  • The three name sets travel as ClassNameRecvNames (params 4, not 6).

graph.h stays line-neutral above rankGraphTeleport in both commits, so the showcase seed holds.

Measured

Method: --pin-census --no-cache on each binary, C rows joined on (caller id, callee, line). A site is retargeted when
its target multiset differs.

step rocksdb @ 0e2801ac3 llvm-project @ 4d5358b1d
main → alias commit 366 retargeted, +111 bound, 0 lost 2,649 retargeted, +1,146 bound, 0 lost
alias commit → veto commit 0 retargeted 1,398 retargeted (1,346 changed, 52 lost)
main → this PR 366 retargeted, +111 bound, 0 lost 3,981 retargeted, +1,093 bound, 49 lost
(rejected) main → veto without the alias commit 0 3,084 retargeted, 1,772 lost

Grading. Each sample is seeded and blinded. The A/B order is randomised per site, and the key was kept outside the
grading directory. Four independent graders took 15 sites each, graded against source with a fixed rubric.

sample better same worse
alias commit, 60 sites (25 rocksdb + 35 llvm) 57 2 1
veto on the alias base, 60 llvm sites 51 7 2
(rejected) veto without aliases, 60 llvm sites 23 3 34

What the non-better grades are:

  • Alias commit, 1 worse. A class template specialization (subtree_templated<true>) sharing the primary's name.
  • Veto, 2 worse. One Rule 2b floor: using CGBuilderBaseTy::CreateGEP; re-exports base overloads that Rule 2b's
    own-class overload pick shadows.
  • Veto, 7 same. WRONG→WRONG members whose types nothing records (SmallVector<T, N>, std:: types).

Walk cap. A cap-4096 variant of the member walk produced a byte-identical census to cap 16 on both corpora (measured
on the veto before the alias commit). The cap decided no site.

The two graded instances. In a scratch composition of lane/ctor-inferred-type (379d9fa) plus this PR, neither
site has an edge. The ctor lane's own census pins them to OutputFile::keep and msgpack Reader::read.

Gates

Commit 1: test/fieldnarrowcheck.sh arm t (t1–t10), generated fixture.

  • Red first. t1–t4 are red on main (no edge). t5–t10 are green on main and stay green.
  • Mutation proof. In a scratch build with one guard disabled at a time:
    • no std refusal → t5 red
    • no real-class guard → t9 red
    • no function-local skip → t10 red
    • no HAS-A refusal → t6 compose row red
    • unmutated → ALL PASS
  • Live controls. Both t6 no-leak probes have a positive control: CGB's real base clause appears in
    --uses role="extends" and in --lego.

Commit 2: test/clsrecvcheck.sh arms H–N, generated C++ fixture plus a Python control.

  • Shapes. Smart-pointer member (H); raw-pointer member, then typed by Rule 2b (I); base member (J); class template
    base member (K); member past the walk cap (L).
  • Controls. M: the same call from a class without that member keeps the route. N: a Python self.Interval does not
    veto Interval.validate(v).
  • Red first. Red on main and on commit 1's binary: 9 FAIL rows (H ×2, I, J ×2, K ×2, L ×2), with M and N green.

Targeted gates, all rc=0. fieldnarrowcheck, clsrecvcheck, narrowcheck, localitycheck, chainguardcheck, identitycheck,
externalvetocheck, pincensuscheck, cachefuzzcheck, showcasecapturecheck, xmlwellformed, printffmtparitycheck,
compactlegendcheck, recallevalcheck, qschemetripcheck, qextractionkeycheck, cacheidentitycheck, manifestcheck,
gatecountcheck.

Other checks.

  • Full suite: python3 test/pargates.py . ./build/ripwire -j 6 on head 36aa4f5gates=639 pass=636 skip=3 fail=0 wall=921.0s (the three environmental skips: argvdiffcheck, editchecknotecheck, g1freshcheck with no asan/). An earlier run on the pre-amend head was 632/3/4 fail. All four were true positives, fixed by the amend: a stale binary for versioncheck, a duplicate kFieldWalkCap for limitstablecheck and readmedriftcheck (now one shared Narrower::kFieldWalkCap), and a one-line && ok || no for gateexitcheck. The amended head's census is byte-identical to the graded binary on both corpora.
  • Determinism: the repo map is byte-identical across two runs, and xmllint accepts it.
  • --quality-delta=$(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)..HEAD: gating="0". The 3 minor rows are the side-stream arm
    idiom in captureSideFacts and streamSideCaptures, which were already over bar.

Pins moved

  • kParserVer → 111 (src/ingest_cache.h) and kIngestParserVerMirror (src/quality.h), over main's 110. kCacheVersion stays main's 23.
  • test/qschemetrip.hash was re-pinned through UPDATE_GOLDEN=1, with a RE-PIN LOG entry in test/qschemetripcheck.sh.
  • docs/LIMITS.md was regenerated by docs/limits_build.py: the kFieldWalkCap row note only. The two walks share one Narrower::kFieldWalkCap, so the cap count stays 217.

Merge of train 3 (head e5f9a50)

origin/main a2b3cd6 (#281) was merged with rerere off and resolved by hand. Every conflict was two sides inserting beside each other: graph.h (memberFields beside #74's javaNarrower), resolve.h (alias helpers beside classNameSet/assignmentNamesNoClass), kParserVer/mirror (111 over 110, cache 23), qschemetrip (re-derived), fieldnarrowcheck (arm t beside arm r), CHANGELOG. On the merged build: clsrecvcheck 29 PASS (H–N), fieldnarrowcheck 110 PASS (t1–t11), narrowcheck 76 PASS, and the pin, gate-shape and generator checks all green. Commit 3a6e6b8 adds arm t11 (the dependent-argument alias floor) and the alias-template disclosure from the independent review.

Train notes

  • ctor-inferred-type. lane/ctor-inferred-type (fix(resolve): assigning a variable from a function call erased the type it was declared with #278) also bumps kParserVer (104) and kCacheVersion (23), and adds
    classNameSet / assignmentNamesNoClass beside fieldTypeWrittenInStd in resolve.h. A merge needs the union of both
    resolve.h blocks, the higher cache version from that lane, and a fresh kParserVer plus qschemetrip re-derivation on the
    merged tree. Merge with rerere.enabled=false. My scratch composition resolved these by hand and was never committed.
  • CHANGELOG. This PR adds two ### Fixed entries under [Unreleased].

…ef or using alias ended the base walk

`class CGBuilderTy : public CGBuilderBaseTy` with `typedef llvm::IRBuilder<llvm::TargetFolder,
CGBuilderInserterTy> CGBuilderBaseTy;` stopped the resolver's base walk at CGBuilderBaseTy: the
inheritance name graph keys classes by name and an alias names no class. A member `CGBuilderTy
Builder;` never reached IRBuilderBase::CreateCall, and neither did `BuilderType Builder;` (class-scope
typedef) or `BuilderTy Builder;` (class-scope using). Those calls got no edge or a split over every
same-named method.

The fix: ingest_relations.h captureTypeAlias records a plain C/C++/ObjC alias of a named class on the
compose record shape (composeRel "alias", empty fieldName; recvVar = alias, name = target's class
name, qualifier = written namespace), collected on the side stream and appended after the walk so
the refs vector keeps one writer per language during it. resolve.h addTypeAliasBases adds the edge
alias -> target to chaUp only. It refuses a std-written target, skips an alias whose name is also a
real class elsewhere (a class-like symbol at a line no alias record holds), and graph.h's HAS-A loop
refuses the record. A pointer/reference/array/function alias, a target naming no class, a self-alias
and a function-local alias record nothing. Format unchanged; kParserVer 99 -> 105 (declared past the
100-104 queued lanes declare) with the quality.h mirror; qschemetrip re-pinned with a log entry.
graph.h stays line-neutral above rankGraphTeleport.

Rule 2c reads `Cls.m()` through a class name as a call on that class, refusing only when a LOCAL
of the name exists. Inside a C++ member function, lookup finds a member of the class or a base
before any namespace-scope class, so a member named like a class is the member. Graded llvm-project
instances: LVReader.cpp:175 `OutputFile->keep()` (member std::unique_ptr<ToolOutputFile>
OutputFile) -> VirtualOutputFile.cpp OutputFile::keep; SampleProfile.cpp:1962 `Reader->read()`
(base-class member std::unique_ptr<SampleProfileReader> Reader) -> msgpack Reader::read. Both one
precise wrong edge; on main each was masked only by an assignment record of the member.

The fix: resolve.h Narrower::memberFieldNames builds "<Owner>#<field>" from the C/C++ field side
table (IngestResult::fields, every declarator shape, where Rule 2b's compose table skips
std::unique_ptr<T> members); memberFieldHides walks the caller's class and its chaUp bases
breadth-first. Rule 2c refuses a C++/ObjC receiver that names such a member, and refuses too when
the 16-name walk stops with a base unvisited. Rule 2b then types a member it can read (`Widget* Raw;`).
Rule 2c's three name sets travel as one ClassNameRecvNames bundle (params 4, not 6). graph.h builds
the member set once beside the Narrower and stays line-neutral above rankGraphTeleport.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change prevents Rule 2c from narrowing receivers hidden by C++ member fields and adds C/C++/ObjC type-alias records for base-name traversal. It updates parser mirrors, cache invalidation, documentation, changelog entries, and regression tests.

Changes

Receiver narrowing and alias resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Member-field receiver veto
src/resolve.h, src/graph.h, test/clsrecvcheck.sh
Rule 2c checks caller and inherited member fields before applying class-name narrowing. The tests cover pointer types, base classes, template bases, traversal caps, Python behavior, and controls.
Type-alias capture and cache identity
src/ingest_relations.h, src/ingest_sidecap.h, src/ingest_cache.h, src/quality.h
The side-capture stream records qualifying named-class typedef and using aliases. Parser version mirrors move from 99 to 105.
Alias base-graph integration
src/resolve.h, src/graph.h
Alias records add alias-to-target edges in chaUp and are excluded from HAS-A composition records.
Validation, limits, and release records
test/fieldnarrowcheck.sh, test/qschemetripcheck.sh, docs/LIMITS.md, CHANGELOG.md
Tests validate alias narrowing, exclusions, graph relationships, cache stability, and deterministic output. Documentation and changelog entries record the new behavior and field-walk limit.

Disclose alias traversal truncation.

When a C/C++/ObjC tree contains an alias below kSideDepthStd, streamSideCaptures does not visit that node, so the alias can produce no record without a DEGRADED_PATH_ALERT. Report this truncation once at the stream boundary. State that aliases below the boundary may not be captured; do not report a total alias count.

The depth >= 256 branch in insideFunctionBody cannot disclose this condition because deeper nodes do not reach captureTypeAlias. Document the alias cap and degradation behavior in docs/LIMITS.md.

Preserve the alias target qualifier in the CHA edge.

emitTypeAlias captures one in Reference::qualifier, but addTypeAliasBases stores only Alias -> Base. methodOnTypeOrBases then probes the bare Base::method key. Because canonByName uses bare class scopes, that key can contain both one::Base and two::Base definitions. A call through using Alias = one::Base can therefore emit a two::Base target. Preserve qualified target identity at this alias-to-base boundary and honor it during the CHA walk.

…ose alias templates

Independent review of #280 (ripwire-67, head 36aa4f5) found a real candidate the alias walk drops.
An alias records its target's class NAME without template arguments, so `typedef SubT<marks>
subtree;`, where `marks` is the enclosing template's own parameter, walks to the primary
SubT::is_null alone and drops the explicit specialization SubT<true>::is_null. rocksdb omt_impl.h
hits it via subtree_templated<true>. It is a lost candidate, not a wrong-class pin: main split over
both.

test/fieldnarrowcheck.sh arm t11 pins the floor in the KNOWN-GAP shape (green while the floor holds,
red with a rewrite instruction when it moves). Its control, `typedef SubT<false> subtree;`, narrows
to the primary it names. Both t11 rows are red on the main binary (split over both) and green on
36aa4f5: fieldnarrowcheck 60 PASS, gateexitcheck 22 PASS.

CHANGELOG: the floor sentence, plus the undisclosed generalisation the review named. Alias templates
(`template <typename T> using SetTy = SmallPtrSet<T, 8>;`) are captured too. Test and docs only: no
source change, binary identical to 36aa4f5.

Merged with rerere disabled and resolved by hand; every conflict was two sides inserting beside each other:
- src/graph.h: this lane's memberFields line kept beside #74's javaTypeMembers / javaNarrower block.
  rankGraphTeleport stays at main's line 3762.
- src/resolve.h: this lane's isTypeAliasRecord / addTypeAliasBases kept ahead of train 3's
  classNameSet / assignmentNamesNoClass; the old FlatRecvType comment gives way to main's rewording.
- kParserVer and kIngestParserVerMirror: 111, declared over main's 110 (the PR declared 105). Main's
  100-110 history is kept whole; kCacheVersion and its mirror stay main's 23.
- test/qschemetrip.hash: re-derived on the merged tree (UPDATE_GOLDEN=1); qschemetripcheck.sh log
  gains the 111 entry ahead of main's.
- test/fieldnarrowcheck.sh: arm t (t1-t11) kept ahead of main's arm r. CHANGELOG.md: both sides'
  entries kept; this lane's alias entry now says 111.

On the merged build, all rc=0: clsrecvcheck 29 PASS (H-N), fieldnarrowcheck 110 PASS (t1-t11),
narrowcheck 76 PASS; qschemetripcheck, qextractionkeycheck, cacheidentitycheck, gateexitcheck,
limitstablecheck, gatecountcheck and manifestcheck all rc=0; limits_build and gatecount_build --check
both clean.

…ed the class constant

CodeRabbit on #283: docs/LIMITS.md listed kFieldWalkCap twice. lane/using-base-reexport declared a
function-local `constexpr std::size_t kFieldWalkCap = 16` in Narrower::expandWalkLevel, and #280 declared
the same cap as a static member of Narrower; the local shadowed the member with the same value. The local
copy is dropped, so expandWalkLevel reads the one class constant (no behaviour change: both were 16).
docs/LIMITS.md regenerated (221 caps) and README's cap count follows it.

…a function and hid its type from Rule 2

`IRBuilder<> Builder(Rem);` parses as a local function declaration: the grammar cannot tell the name `Rem`
from a type. queries/cpp/tags.scm minted a function symbol `Builder` whose span is the declaration, so the
local's type binding was attributed to that phantom, not to the enclosing function. Rule 2 then looked up
`<enclosing fn>#Builder`, found nothing, and `Builder.CreateSExt()` declined. The minimal `IRB<> Builder( c );`
fixture that appeared to bind was bound by Rule 3's include narrow, not Rule 2: without the #include it
declines too, and so does a non-template `IRB Builder( c );`.

Fix: dropGatedCapture gates @definition.function for C++ through cppBlockScopeDirectInit (ingest_names.h). A
function_declarator is read as a variable only when it is the declarator of a declaration inside a function
or lambda body, and nothing in it is prototype-only: extern/inline/virtual/explicit, a void return not behind
*/&, anything after the parameter list, empty parentheses, or a parameter an argument cannot produce
(primitive or cv-qualified type, named declarator, abstract */&, default, `...`). isSwiftLocalBinding and the
new check now share one ancestor walk, nearestScopeOwnerIs; the extraction removes a 92-token clone. The
residual 24-token shape match with naminglens ncBoolTypeName is acked through the binary (one +ack row).

Measured with --pin-census --no-cache, main a5ce95e vs this change, C rows joined on (caller, callee, line):
- symbols: llvm-project 4d5358b1d -12,543 fn, rocksdb 0e2801ac3 -2,443 fn, none added. A static AST walk of
  every body-local declarator predicted 12,547 and 2,443.
- llvm: 1,891 gained, 898 changed, 68 lost. Separately, 400 edges to a phantom dropped, and 449/422 rows moved
  from a phantom caller to the real one (422 with identical targets). bound 1,135,737 -> 1,137,162; declined
  562,310 -> 560,471.
- rocksdb: 225 gained, 837 changed, 0 lost. 62 edges to a phantom dropped, and 100 Python range()/list()
  external-veto rows became undefined: the only in-repo "definition" of those names was a C++ phantom.
- Blinded sample, seed 20260917, strata llvm gained 12 / changed 10 / lost 6, rocksdb gained 6 / changed 6:
  34 better, 0 same, 6 worse. All 6 are in the 68-site lost stratum. Mechanism: the local now belongs to the
  enclosing function, so a sibling block's same-named local of another type tombstones the flat table
  (`MachineInstrBuilder MIB(MF, I)` inside AArch64InstructionSelector::select). Separately, Rule 2c's
  local-shadow veto now refuses `Builder`, which main's Rule 2 cannot read as `IRBuilder<>` without
  template-id receivers.
- Composition, train 3 c1ec699 + this patch, on IRBuilder.h + IntegerDivision.cpp plus a competing class:
  every Builder.CreateX() at lines 568-579 is receiver-rule -> IRBuilderBase::X (declined on main).
- Composition with the dropped Rule 2c C++ refusal (scratch 6937f364 = train 3 + redhat-et#280 + refusal): this patch
  returns 997 of the 1,937 llvm sites the refusal moved to their pre-refusal answer. That includes 928 of the
  1,594 lost `Builder.CreateX()` sites.

Gate: test/narrowcheck.sh arms 52-60. On the unchanged binary 52-58 are red (no edge / phantom symbols /
NO-CENSUS-ROW) while 52c, 59, 60 and 60d pass. On a scratch variant that refuses every body-local declarator,
59 (9 rows) and 60 go red; the variant was never committed. Green here: 62 PASS. cppqualcheck's fixture
header pin moves symbols=23 -> 22: the only moved symbol is qual.cpp:136's phantom `g` from
`std::lock_guard<std::mutex> g( … );`. Targeted gates green: qextractionkeycheck, qschemetripcheck
(re-pinned), cppqualcheck, callformcheck, extentcheck, slicecheck, pincensuscheck, declinecheck,
fieldnarrowcheck, clsrecvcheck, chacheck, shadowcheck, usescheck, clonededupcheck, cudacheck, metalcheck,
moduleconstcheck, cpptmplscopecheck, resolvecheck, localscountcheck, childwalkscalecheck, floormarkcheck,
swiftcheck, swiftshapecheck, swiftmemberscheck, gatecountcheck, limitstablecheck, ripwirepubliccheck. The
refactor into helpers is proven behaviour-identical: the rocksdb census is byte-identical before and after.
The full suite was not run locally, per the coordinator's budget call.

Pins: kParserVer 103 -> 111 (claimed past train 3's 110), plus its quality.h mirror; qschemetrip re-pinned;
cppqualcheck symbols=22. kCacheVersion unchanged.

… call through it in the derived class guessed

Rule 2b (resolve.h Narrower::rule2bFieldRecvType) typed a bare member receiver from the "Class#field" table keyed by
the caller's own class only (fieldEntryAt). A member the class inherits was never found. In llvm-project
SampleProfile.cpp, `class SampleProfileLoader final : public SampleProfileLoaderBaseImpl<Function>` calls through the
base's `std::unique_ptr<SampleProfileReader> Reader;`, and `Reader->getSummary()` took the bare-name ladder.

The fix:
- fieldEntryAt: when the class declares no member of that name, walk its bases breadth-first over chaUp (final-segment
  names, the discipline methodOnTypeOrBases uses). The shallowest level with a base DECLARING the member decides, and it
  must be exactly one base; its typed entry is returned (a tombstone or an arrow-only pointee is handled as before).
- "Declared" is the field side table (IngestResult::fields, Narrower::memberFieldNames), typed or not. An untyped member
  of the class itself, or of a base at a level before the hit, hides the bases behind it and refuses. So do two
  declaring bases at one level (an ambiguous lookup) and a walk the 16-name cap cut with a base unvisited.
- The local-shadow veto is unchanged. prov="final-segment" (fieldFinalSegmentAt) reads the same walk.
- Rule 2b's tables travel as one FieldRecvTables bundle (types, declared, chaUp), so no signature grows.
  kFieldWalkCap is hoisted to the struct, and methodOnTypeOrBases shares the base expansion (expandWalkLevel); its
  visited set, and so its answers, are unchanged.
- graph.h builds the declared-member set once beside the Narrower and stays line-neutral above rankGraphTeleport.
  docs/LIMITS.md is regenerated for kFieldWalkCap's note (value and class unchanged).
  lane/rule2c-member-field (redhat-et#280) builds the same set under the same name for Rule 2c; a train keeps one.

Dependent bases were measured, not refused. C++ lookup never searches a class template's dependent base for a bare name,
but the base clause records no template arguments, so a refusal needs an extraction change. A source scan of every
retarget found 5 of 2,203 sites in a class template with a dependent base, and all 5 are correct: three
PtrUseVisitor sites reach its non-dependent PtrUseVisitorBase, and two ELF_ppc64.cpp sites reach `using Base::G;`. A
refusal would lose five right edges and fix none. It stays a pinned floor (arm v12).

Measured with --pin-census --no-cache, C rows joined on (caller id, callee, line):
- previous commit (ad7a9d5, redhat-et#282's head) -> this one:
  - rocksdb @ 0e2801ac3: 374 retargeted (236 gained, 138 changed, 0 lost), bound +236;
  - llvm-project @ 4d5358b1d: 1,829 retargeted (731 gained, 1,098 changed, 0 lost), bound +735.
- main a5ce95e -> this one (includes redhat-et#282):
  - rocksdb: 1,183 (684 / 493 / 6), bound +678;
  - llvm: 2,622 (1,229 / 1,393 / 0), bound +1,236.
- A seeded (91717), blinded, stratified sample of the lane's retargets (rocksdb gained 10, changed 10; llvm gained 20,
  changed 20) was graded against source by independent graders: 52 better, 3 same, 5 worse. In all 60 the grader traced
  the receiver to a member of a base class. The 5 worse sites are Rule 2b's existing type-side limits: a class name
  shared across namespaces (llvm::Module / sandboxir::Module x2, Sema / comments::Sema x1) and two overload picks that
  ignore the argument count. The 3 same are rocksdb DB::Get/Put overload picks, WRONG on both sides.
- Refactor steps were checked census-byte-identical on both corpora against the graded build. llvm wall time is 4.7 s
  on both builds.

Not fixed, measured: SampleProfile.cpp:1962 `Reader->read()` still declines. `Reader = std::move(ReaderOrErr.get());`
five lines up records a local binding, and the veto refuses the member. A fixture reproduces it, and deleting that line
narrows it. It is the same shape as LVReader.cpp:175 in redhat-et#282. `--uses=Owner.field` keeps its own class-only member
lookup; its legend discloses the inherited field as not seen.

Gate: test/fieldnarrowcheck.sh arm v (generated fixture).
- Red on ad7a9d5 (8 FAIL): v1 x3 (unique_ptr, raw pointer, out-of-line method), v2 (two levels), v4 (the narrow and
  its prov), v10 (the 16th name), v12 (floor). The same 8 are red on main. Controls v3, v5-v9, v10 far and v10w are green.
- Mutations on a scratch build, reverted:
  - counting only typed members as declared reds v6 and v7;
  - taking the first declaring base reds v8;
  - probing a cap-cut level instead of refusing reds v10w.
- Green here. v11 is census determinism.

…112)

The pin hashes the train's declarations (kParserVer and its mirror 112, kCacheVersion 23,
kQSnapCacheScheme 14). One TRAIN 4 RE-PIN LOG entry names every member and the two extraction
numbers; the vexing-parse locals lane gains the entry it did not carry, and redhat-et#280's entry is
renumbered 111 -> 112.

… 113, kCacheVersion 24

PR redhat-et#282 ad7a9d5 (signed off) on main a6868f7. The PR declared kParserVer 103 -> 104 and kCacheVersion 22 -> 23 over
its base a5ce95e; main had spent 112 and redhat-et#278's 23, so integration/train-5 assigns 113 and 24 (the ref record grows
viaArrow, kMinRefRecordBytes 39 -> 40), with both quality.h mirrors and a RE-PIN LOG entry. The qschemetrip hash is
re-derived once on the final train tree.

Resolutions (unions; nothing from either side dropped):
- src/ingest_relations.h: main's type-alias capture (redhat-et#280) and redhat-et#282's stdSmartPointee sit side by side.
- src/graph.h: the member-field loop skips an alias record (redhat-et#280) and a smart pointer's viaArrow pointee (redhat-et#282).
- src/ingest_cache.h: redhat-et#282's readRef (viaArrow) with main's writeBind/readBind (isFromAssignment).

…nto train 5 — kParserVer 114

lane/rule2b-assignment-veto 626810b (signed off; redhat-et#282 + 8f16d3e + 626810b). The lane declared kParserVer 112 over
redhat-et#282's 104; main had spent 112 and redhat-et#282 takes 113, so integration/train-5 assigns 114 (mirror moved; no record layout
change, kCacheVersion stays 24).

Resolutions:
- src/resolve.h: main's type-alias bases, classNameSet and redhat-et#278's assignmentNamesNoClass beside the lane's
  localNameEvidence; rule2cClassNameRecv keeps main's ClassNameRecvNames signature (redhat-et#280's memberFields) with the lane's
  wording for condition (2).
- src/graph.h: localNameSet takes the lane's evidence bits AND keeps main's VarDecl localShadowSpans (Java shadows).
- A composition call, not a textual one: main's localNameSet loop skipped a record assignmentNamesNoClass drops (redhat-et#278:
  a member assigned from a call read as a local, so Rule 2b refused its declared type). The lane solves that same
  refusal with the declared bit, and its arm v3 needs Rule 2c to keep the assignment as evidence the token is a variable
  (`Widget = makePane();`), which the skip would drop. The loop now reads every record; assignmentNamesNoClass still
  guards the varType and field use-site tables, and its comment says the local-name set joined the two.

…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).

…ch the two lanes made readable

Found on the merged tree; no member's own CI could see it. redhat-et#280's arms H and J assert that a member named like a class
takes no receiver rule, because neither member had a type Rule 2b could read: H is `std::unique_ptr<Widget> Reader`
and J is the base's `Widget* Inherited`. redhat-et#282 records a smart pointer's pointee and lane/field-base-member walks the
bases, so both now resolve to `Widget::read` — the member's own type, exactly what arm I already asserted for
`Widget* Raw`.

H and J move to memberTypePin, arm I's assertion: receiver-rule to Widget::read ALONE, never the class the token names.
K (a class template's base) and L (past the 16-name walk cap) keep notClassPin — Rule 2b still types neither — and the
M/N controls are untouched.
