The recall counterpart to the refusal in #2505, backported from our fork (lawnstarter#35, spec lawnstarter#18 tickets 4/5 and 5/5).

Stacked on #2505 (and transitively on #2492 and #2502) — only the last two commits (6b90f7f, 3930ce8) are new here. The two ship together deliberately: without the marker, every edge the binding adds would exist on full builds only.

Commit 1 — declared-FQN positive binding

PhpNameResolver gains a casefolded declared FQN -> definition node index over the same node universe as the short-name census, sourced from the per-file declared-namespace payload the inline-new corroboration already reads. Once a calling file's claim (via use, use ... as, group use, or a qualified annotation) resolves to an FQN, a unique index hit binds before the single-candidate check. Two things now resolve that used to refuse: use App\Alpha\X; selects App\Alpha\X among several same-short-named classes, and a renaming alias use App\Alpha\X as Y; follows the alias to a class the written short name never censuses. An FQN declared identically by two files poisons its entry rather than guessing; on a miss everything falls through to the refusal rules untouched. Additive-only by construction — the mirror risk profile of #2505's subtractive-only commit 5.

Commit 2 — persisted _php_class_fqns marker

The declared-FQN payload aligns 1:1 with files dispatched this run, so without persistence the new edges silently vanish on the first graphify update when the defining file is unchanged — the same failure mode the interface refusal closed with _php_non_class_types. Each PHP file node persists the map into graph.json on the established _callable marker channel; watch.py and the CLI hand it back on resolution-context nodes; extract() re-injects it as synthetic per-file payload entries. A pre-marker graph.json fails closed: the binding is simply absent — never redirected to a namesake — until the defining file is re-extracted.

Verification

Full suite on this branch: 4139 passed, 36 skipped. On the fork, a differential extract against the pre-change baseline over a 25-file shape corpus showed 6 edges added, 0 deleted, 0 re-pointed, 0 confidence changes — all six target exactly App\Alpha\X::send at INFERRED 0.8 (five calls, one indirect_call via the first-class-callable form). End-to-end through the real CLI channel: graphify extract → 9 call edges, 23 file nodes carrying the marker → touch only the callers → graphify update reproduces all 9 with the defining files undispatched. Every positive scenario also has a mirrored _full_then_incremental test plus pre-marker variants pinning the fail-closed behavior.

…ype (#2)

PHP member calls were resolved by bare method name only, so a Laravel-style
`$this->service->method()` either linked nothing or bound to whichever
same-named method happened to be in the file. Cut the full path for the
narrowest receiver family — `this` and `this.<prop>`.

Extraction (engine.py):
- capture the receiver of member/nullsafe member calls as `this` or
  `this.<prop>`; anything else stays uncaptured (behavior unchanged)
- build a per-class table of concrete property types from typed properties and
  constructor-promoted params; unions, intersections, primitives and
  self/static/parent are refused, `?Foo` unwraps to Foo
- stamp `lang: "php"` and the resolved `receiver_type` on raw calls
- defer the in-file bare-name match only when a receiver type was actually
  stamped, so plain `$this->m()` and untyped receivers keep today's edges

Resolution (extract.py):
- `nullsafe_member_call_expression` joins the PHP call types
- new `_resolve_php_member_calls`, a case-insensitive clone of the Java pass:
  exactly one type definition in the corpus and exactly one matching method, or
  no edge at all — never a bare-name fallback
- registered as the `php_member_calls` language resolver

Edges are INFERRED (0.8) for typed receivers and EXTRACTED (1.0) for `this`.

An inline instantiation names its class outright, so the receiver needs no
type table — but the lookup that finds the class node still goes by SHORT
name and ignores the namespace. Treating every inline new as exact would
label a mis-bound short name EXTRACTED, so the namespace is checked as
independent evidence.

Extraction (engine.py):
- capture `(new X())->m()` / `(new \NS\X())->m()` as the `(new)` receiver key,
  keeping the short name for lookup and the written text for corroboration
- `new self()` / `new static()` / `new parent()` are refused by the same
  non-concrete type-name set as declared types
- anonymous classes carry no name node at all (probe-verified on
  tree-sitter-php 0.24.1), so the receiver stays uncaptured and the call is
  inert; a bare `new X();` statement is still not a call node

Resolution (extract.py):
- new `_php_qualified_corroborates`: every segment of the written name must
  line up, case-insensitively, with the tail of the resolved node's path
  (PSR-4). A bare name corroborates nothing; a mismatching namespace
  downgrades to INFERRED rather than refusing, since the class name itself
  still resolved unambiguously

…#4)

`$svc = new Service(); $svc->method()` and `function handle(Service $svc)` now
carry a receiver type, so the call binds to the declared class instead of the
first same-named method in the corpus.

Raw calls retain no lexical scope, which makes shadowing the hard part: a call
written inside a closure is attributed to the enclosing method, so a closure
parameter reusing an outer name is indistinguishable from the outer binding.
Rather than guess, `_php_method_receiver_types` POISONS any name whose binding
is not provably single-typed and drops it from the table:

- rebind to anything but a `new`, or two conflicting `new` types
- augmented assignment (`$svc ??= new Other()`)
- closure and arrow-function parameters shadowing the name
- foreach targets, including `$k => &$v` and destructured elements
- list destructuring, `[$a, [$b]] = …` and `list(…) = …` alike

Anonymous-class bodies are skipped outright — a `new` inside one belongs to a
different scope and must not type the enclosing method's variables. Variadic
params are left unbound (`T ...$xs` is an array of T, not a T), and `self` /
`static` in type position reuse the non-concrete name set.

The bare `$var->m()` receiver key also required carving PHP out of the shared
capitalized-receiver defer rule: PHP receivers are never bare class names, so
that rule could only have stripped in-file edges off an untypable `$Svc->m()`.

Chained receivers stay inert — `$a->b()->c()` resolves the inner call and
leaves the outer one alone.

… TypeScript member-call resolvers (#6)

The Swift, Python and TypeScript resolvers walked every raw call in the corpus
and claimed any entry with `is_member_call`, regardless of which language
produced it. Since #2 stamped `lang: "php"` and a truthy receiver on PHP raw
calls, a mixed PHP/Python corpus put foreign receiver data in front of three
resolvers that had no way to tell it apart from their own.

Add a `lang` tag skip at the top of each of the three loops. The extractor
stamps `lang` for cpp, csharp, java and php (engine.py) and objc stamps its own
(extractors/objc.py); Swift, Python and TypeScript raw calls carry no tag, so
"tagged" is exactly "not mine". This also shuts the pre-existing path for
objc-tagged raw calls, whose receivers ARE capitalized and so could reach the
Python resolver's class arm.

The Ruby resolver is deliberately untouched: ruby_resolution.py:47-48 already
filters raw calls to `.rb`/`.rake` source files, so a `.php` entry cannot reach
it.

Tests: a mixed-corpus `extract()` test (.php + .py in one call) asserting a PHP
receiver mints no edge into an identically named Python method, plus a positive
control proving the skip did not simply disable the Python resolver.

Scope note: with PHP's current receiver forms this guard is defensive rather
than corrective. `engine.py:4410-4426` only ever emits `this` or `this.<prop>`,
neither of which is capitalized, so no PHP raw call reaches the Python class
arm today and both new tests pass with or without this change. The reachable
cross-language leak found while verifying #6 has a different root cause -- the
corpus-global, language-unscoped `type_def_nids` index inside
_resolve_php_member_calls (extract.py:3068-3075) and its objc twin
(extract.py:3211) -- and is left for a follow-up rather than widened into #2's
resolver here.

…llision (#5)

PHP `interface_declaration` is not in `_PHP_CONFIG.class_types`, so an
interface mints no definition node. That looked safe — an interface-typed
receiver simply found nothing — but it is not: Laravel's Contracts convention
routinely puts `App\Contracts\Notifier` beside an unrelated
`App\Support\Notifier` class, and then exactly ONE definition exists under
that short name. The single-definition guard cannot see a problem, so the
receiver silently bound to a total stranger.

Measured before the fix: all three receiver entry points — typed property,
typed parameter (#4) and inline new (#3) — minted the wrong edge in that
corpus.

Pre-scan interface names per file (the C# `_csharp_pre_scan_interfaces`
pattern), thread them out on the extractor result, and refuse in the resolver
any receiver type whose name matches one, case-insensitively. The check sits
where the receiver type is first read, so every entry point is covered by
construction. Implementations are never guessed, and the refusal is
name-scoped: a class-typed receiver still resolves with an interface of
another name in the corpus.

…ardening (#6)

* feat/php-member-calls-1682-t6:
  fix(extract): skip language-tagged raw calls in the Swift, Python and TypeScript member-call resolvers (#6)
`lang`-tagging (#6) keeps one language's raw calls out of another language's
resolver, but the DEFINITION index each resolver builds was assembled from
every type-like node in the corpus. A PHP receiver type name was therefore
matched against classes written in any language, and that cut both ways:

- a Python `class Lead` could be bound as the PHP receiver's type, minting a
  cross-language INFERRED edge from PHP into Python
- worse, a Python class merely SHARING the name pushed the single-definition
  guard to two candidates, so the correct PHP-to-PHP edge was silently
  suppressed — any polyglot repo with a colliding class name lost PHP
  member-call resolution entirely

Scope both indexes by the resolver's own registered source suffixes. The
suffix tuples now have one definition each and feed both the registration and
the index, so the two cannot drift apart.

`_resolve_objc_member_calls` carries the identical defect (pre-existing, not
introduced by the PHP work) and gets the same fix here. Its `.h` dual-routing
is unaffected: raw calls are still claimed by the extractor-stamped `lang`,
and `.h` belongs in the ObjC definition scope because an @interface lives in
one.

#12)

`enum_declaration` and `trait_declaration` are absent from
`_PHP_CONFIG.class_types` just like `interface_declaration`, so they mint no
definition node — and the #5 pre-scan only collected interfaces. An enum-typed
receiver was therefore invisible to BOTH the resolver and the refusal set, so
an unrelated class merely sharing its short name became the single visible
definition and sailed through the god-node guard: `App\Enums\Status` (enum)
beside `App\Legacy\Status` (class) bound `$this->status->label()` to the
stranger at INFERRED 0.8. All four receiver entry points leaked, including the
FQN-written one, where the source names the enum unambiguously.

Generalize the pre-scan to every PHP declaration kind that mints no node —
interface, enum, trait — and refuse those receiver types. Refusal side only:
enums and traits still mint no definition nodes, so nothing else about
extraction changes. That leaves the recall gap named in #12 (an enum's own
methods are not resolvable call targets) deliberately open; minting nodes for
these declarations is a separate decision.

The resolver still reads the pre-#12 `php_interfaces` result key so an AST
cache entry written before this change keeps refusing interfaces.
…ements (#13)

#4's scope poisoning covered every way a local can be REASSIGNED, but not the
two statements that rebind a name to DIFFERENT STORAGE. `$svc = new Alpha();
global $svc;` leaves the name aliased to the global slot and `static $svc;`
rebinds it to the function-static slot (initially null), yet the table kept the
`Alpha` binding and minted an INFERRED 0.8 edge to a method the receiver can
never reach at runtime. Both idioms are native to the pre-PSR-4 codebases this
feature targets: `global $db;` and `static $conn;` memoization.

Poison every name a `global_declaration` or `function_static_declaration`
names, in the same unordered walk that already poisons foreach targets and
closure params. Name-targeted, not statement-targeted — `global $other;` leaves
`$svc` resolvable, which the tests pin. Multi-name forms carry one
`variable_name` per declared name and a static initializer is a constant
expression, so sweeping the statement names exactly the rebound variables
(AST shapes probed against tree-sitter-php 0.24.1).
#5 refuses an interface-typed receiver, but only on a full build. Interface
names reached the resolver through `per_file`, which aligns 1:1 with the files
dispatched THIS run, and the incremental widening path (Graphify-Labs#2406/Graphify-Labs#2437/Graphify-Labs#2438)
carried nodes and contains/method edges — no channel for names. So on a rebuild
where the interface's own file was unchanged and therefore not dispatched, the
refusal silently stopped applying and the lone same-short-named CLASS satisfied
the single-definition guard. Worse than a missing edge: a wrong one.

Measured before the fix, `graphify extract` twice on the Laravel Contracts
collision (an `App\Contracts\Notifier` interface, an unrelated
`App\Support\Notifier` class, a `private Notifier $notifier` receiver):

    FULL        -> notify calls: []
    INCREMENTAL -> notify calls: [(dispatcher_go, support_notifier_notify)]

Of the two directions recorded on the issue, this takes B (stamp a marker on a
node the incremental path already carries) over A (a third `extract()` context
parameter): A would still need somewhere to persist the names, so it buys a
wider public signature for the same node-marker plumbing. The host is the PHP
FILE node — an interface mints no node of its own, and no definition nodes
change — carrying `_php_interfaces` with the names listed explicitly, never
inferred from the `<Name>.php` label (that holds only under one-interface-
per-file PSR-4 convention). Like `_callable` (Graphify-Labs#2438) the marker is deliberately
not popped, so it persists into graph.json, and watch.py / cli.py hand it back
on the resolution-context nodes.

extract() turns those names back into the resolver's EXISTING single channel:
one synthetic `php_interfaces`-only `per_file` entry on the scratch list, so
`_resolve_php_member_calls` reads one union and full/incremental agree by
construction. The names are harvested from the RAW context-node list, not from
the merged `resolution_nodes`: a changed caller that does
`use App\Contracts\Notifier;` mints a sourceless import stub whose id IS the
interface file node's id, and the merge drops the colliding context node (fresh
wins) — measured, and it takes the marker with it exactly when the refusal is
needed.

Tests: four in test_php_member_calls.py drive the incremental path through the
public extract() seam with resolution context assembled the way watch.py builds
it from graph.json (field subset + markers, contains/method edges) — refusal,
short-name collision, case-insensitivity, plus a positive control that a
class-typed receiver still resolves. Three in test_watch.py go end-to-end
through `_rebuild_code(changed_paths=...)`: refusal held, marker persisted on
the interface file only, and a pre-marker graph neither crashes nor blocks the
next full rebuild from self-healing. The first three of each are red without
this change.

Suite: 3994 passed / 36 skipped, plus the pre-existing environment-specific
test_collect_files_skips_hidden failure (dotted worktree path).

…ace (#14)

`_php_qualified_corroborates` promoted a member call to EXTRACTED 1.0 whenever
the written class name matched the TAIL of the resolved node's file path. Its
docstring justified that with "PHP nodes carry no namespace" — but the
`namespace` declaration sits in the source and was simply never read, and PSR-4
is a convention, not an invariant. Two names were stamped at maximum confidence
while denoting a class that exists nowhere in the corpus:

  * `app/Services/Client.php` declaring `namespace App\Vendor;` made
    `(new \App\Services\Client())` corroborate `App\Vendor\Client` — a wrong
    TARGET at 1.0, not just an inflated score. PSR-0 leftovers, classmap
    autoloaders, moved files and generated code all produce this.
  * `\Services\Client` corroborated `App\Services\Client`, because a proper
    suffix of the real name still matched the path tail. A missing `use` plus a
    leading backslash is a common bug; it was being rewarded.

Pre-scan each PHP file's `namespace` declarations (both the statement and the
braced-block form) at extraction time, map every class it declares to its fully
qualified name, and thread that to the resolver keyed by defining file. When
the declaration is known the comparison is whole-name, so neither exploit
promotes. Only files that declare NO namespace fall back to the PSR-4 path
check — with nothing declared, the path is the only evidence there is. A
mismatch still downgrades rather than refusing, per #3's shipped policy, and a
bare `new Svc()` still stays INFERRED.

# Conflicts:

#	tests/test_php_member_calls.py
…11, #12)

#11 gave the refusal a second channel for rebuilds: a PHP file stamps the names
it declares onto its own file node, that marker persists into graph.json, and
watch/`graphify extract` hand it back as resolution context, which extract()
folds into the resolver's single `per_file` channel. It carried INTERFACE names
only. #12 had meanwhile widened the refusal to enums and traits — on the full
build. So an unchanged `App\Enums\Status` file reached the resolver through
nothing at all on a rebuild, `App\Legacy\Status` became the one visible
definition, and #12's wrong edge came straight back on the incremental path.

Measured, `/tmp/rt6/probe_incr_enum.py` (context marker stripped to simulate the
interface-only channel): `FULL -> (no calls)`, `INCREMENTAL -> .go() -> label()`.

Extend the channel to all three declaration kinds. The marker is renamed
`_php_interfaces` -> `_php_non_class_types` since its contents no longer match
the old name, and every reader — extract()'s context harvester, watch.py's and
cli.py's marker tuples — still accepts the old spelling, so a graph.json written
before this keeps refusing the interfaces it names instead of losing the channel
outright. Same dual-read tolerance the per-file `php_interfaces` key already has.

Verified end to end: `graphify extract . --code-only` twice over an enum corpus
reports "2 files cached/unchanged, 1 re-extracted" with the marker persisted and
no wrong edge (`/tmp/rt6/probe_cli_enum.py`).

Tests: 5 through the extract() seam (enum property, enum typed param, trait,
plus a class-typed positive control and one pinning that the legacy
`_php_interfaces` spelling still refuses), 2 end-to-end through
`_rebuild_code(changed_paths=…)`. With the marker temporarily reduced to
interfaces, exactly the 3 refusal tests and the 2 watch tests go red.
#4/#5/#6/#8/#11/#12/#13/#14)

Ships the PHP receiver-typed member-call work as 0.9.34. The changelog entry
names what now resolves (typed properties and constructor-promoted params via
`$this->prop`, nullsafe receivers, typed params, `$var = new T()` locals, and
inline `(new T())->m()` as the one EXTRACTED form, gated on declared-namespace
corroboration) and, at equal length, what is deliberately refused — untyped,
union- and intersection-typed receivers, interface/enum/trait-typed receivers
including across incremental rebuilds, corpus-duplicate short names, methods the
receiver's class does not declare (so `__call` fabricates nothing), chained and
array-element receivers, locals rebound or rebound by `global`/`static`, closure
/arrow/foreach/destructuring shadowing, anonymous classes, and
`self`/`static`/`parent`.

Three behaviour deltas are called out because consumers weigh edges by
confidence: a same-file call through a TYPED receiver moves EXTRACTED -> INFERRED
0.8 (measured on the base commit vs head, `/tmp/probe7_changelog_claims.py`); a
qualified inline `new` is EXTRACTED while the same name written as a local stays
INFERRED; and the language-scoped receiver index is two fixes, not one — polyglot
corpora stop leaking cross-language edges AND regain PHP/ObjC edges a foreign
same-short-named class used to suppress. Recall gaps (traits, inherited methods,
enum methods as targets, typed params in top-level functions) and the
use-alias-outside-corpus false-positive risk are named, as are the three items
still open against this work.

The docs confidence section gains a note that the member-call resolvers are a
deterministic 0.8 INFERRED source distinct from the LLM rubric, plus the PHP
refusal policy.

The version bump rolls the version-namespaced AST cache. Verified end to end on
the live repro corpus: pre-feature code fills `cache/ast/v0.9.33/`; head code at
0.9.33 serves those stale entries and produces NO receiver-aware edges even with
all five files re-dispatched; at 0.9.34 the namespace misses, the corpus is
re-parsed, and all three expected edges appear —
`leadcontroller_index -> leadhunterservice_search` INFERRED 0.8,
`paymentcontroller_store -> mixedpaymentservice_resolve` EXTRACTED 1.0, and the
static control `paymentcontroller_store -> sucursalcontext` INFERRED 0.8
unchanged (`/tmp/probe7_bump_control.py`, `/tmp/probe7_cache_boundary.py`). The
bump does not by itself force a re-extraction — an unchanged stat index
short-circuits before the AST cache is consulted — so the changelog tells users
to run `graphify update .` or drop `manifest.json`.

The AST shapes the resolution reads are probed across every tree-sitter-php
version pyproject accepts (0.23.0 through 0.24.1, twelve releases): 80/80 shape
assertions hold on each, including the anonymous-class and `self`/`static` in
type position cases, so the floor stays at >=0.23
(`/tmp/probe7_php_grammar.py`, `/tmp/probe7_php_versions.sh`). The 85 PHP tests
also pass under 0.23.0, 0.23.5 and 0.23.11.

uv.lock carries the one line that has to change: uv 0.12.1 rewrites 106 marker
lines on a full `uv lock`, so the graphifyy version line is edited on its own.
`uv lock --check` passes afterwards, which it did not before (the lock had been
left at 0.9.31 across the 0.9.32 and 0.9.33 bumps).

Suite: 4024 passed, 36 skipped — unchanged from the pre-release baseline.
PHP `imports` edges now carry `use_kind` / `alias` / `target_fqn` metadata,
mirroring `_import_csharp`. The already-correct `use`-parser inside
`_resolve_php_type_references` was extracted into shared helpers
(`_php_use_clause_fact`, `_php_use_clause_context`,
`_php_use_declaration_facts`) consumed by both the resolution pass and the
capture path, replacing `_import_php`'s lossy `raw.split("\\")[-1]`. Group use
`use A\{B, C as X};`, aliases, leading-backslash absolutes and
`use function` / `use const` are all handled in one place, so a clause
dispatched on its own (as `_import_php` is) can still spell its own FQN by
reading the group prefix and keyword off the parent declaration.

Strictly metadata-only: no resolver behavior change, `_PHP_CONFIG.import_types`
untouched, edge targets still keyed on the imported short name. Full
`extract()` output with metadata stripped, before vs after, over a corpus
covering plain / aliased / group / aliased-group / `function` / `const` /
group-function / group-const / leading-backslash `use`, trait `use`,
inheritance, interfaces and a typed member call: 16 nodes / 27 edges,
byte-identical (sha256 f6c6168f).

Group-form `use function A\{f, g};` and `use const A\{K};` put the keyword on
the declaration rather than the clause, so those names enter the class-name map
today; that pre-existing bug is deliberately preserved bit-for-bit here via
`apply_declaration_kind=False` and fixed in the follow-up commit. The new
metadata already reports the correct kind.

Note for consumers: the `use_kind` vocabulary is `class`/`function`/`const`
with `alias` as a separate key (unlike C#'s `using_kind == "alias"`), and
`_resolve_php_type_references` re-points `imports` edges without touching
metadata, so `metadata.target_fqn` is the reliable read rather than the target
node's label.

Tests: 8 new, all through the public `extract()` seam; 7 failed against
unfixed code (the 8th is the targets-unchanged guard, green by construction).
Full suite 3984 passed / 36 skipped (baseline 3976/36 + 8).

Group-form `use function A\{f, g};` and `use const A\{K};` put the keyword on
the *declaration* node, not the clause, so those names wrongly entered
`_resolve_php_type_references`'s class-name map. A group-imported function or
constant whose short name was also used in a class position in the same file
therefore re-pointed that `inherits`/`implements`/`mixes_in`/`imports`/
`references` edge onto an external stub labeled with an FQN that names a
function or a constant, not a class.

The shared parser added in the previous commit already computed the correct
kind behind an `apply_declaration_kind=False` compatibility flag, which existed
only to keep that commit metadata-only. This removes the flag and its call
site, leaving one code path that always honors the declaration-level keyword,
so both spellings agree. Strictly subtractive: it can only remove a class-name
claim, never add one. The reference then falls back to the namespace-relative
FQN or to the legacy unique-label rewire, exactly as the unbraced form always
did.

Pre-existing, and rare in practice because it needs the same short name used
both as a group-imported function/constant and in a class position within one
file.

Tests: 4 new, all through the public `extract()` seam, each braced form paired
with its semantically equivalent unbraced control; 3 failed against unfixed
code, and the over-subtraction guard (`use App\Cms\{Page};` still claims the
class name, decoy `App\Models\Page` gets no edge) passes on both sides by
design. Full suite 3988 passed / 36 skipped (3984/36 + 4).
`grep -rn apply_declaration_kind` across the repo now returns nothing.

PHP 8.1 `$obj->method(...)` creates a Closure — it names the method
without invoking it — but the 8.1 grammar reuses `member_call_expression`
for it, so the shared `node.type in config.call_types` gate saw an
ordinary call and the PHP branch never inspected the `arguments` field.
The edge landed as `calls`, claiming control flow transfers at that line.

Maintainer decision on #15 (option 2): re-tag as `indirect_call`, the
relation this repo already uses for "named but not invoked". No sibling
resolver emits `calls` for the equivalent syntax — C# method groups, Java
method references and TS bare member references are never captured at
all — so PHP was the outlier, and deleting the edge would lose a real
dependency that suppression cannot express.

Detection is stamped at capture as `fcc` on the raw-call fact, keyed on
the argument list being exactly the `...` placeholder: probe-verified on
the pinned tree-sitter-php 0.24.1, `m(...)` parses as `arguments:
(arguments (variadic_placeholder))` — one named child of that type —
while `m()`, `m(1)` and the spread `m(...$args)` do not.

`_resolve_php_member_calls` reads the marker and flips only the relation:
receiver typing, the single-definition and interface/enum/trait refusals,
and the confidence ladder are unchanged. The in-file path (`$this->m(...)`
binding to a method in the same file) re-tags too, at unchanged EXTRACTED
confidence. Ordinary invocations keep `calls`, and a caller that both
invokes and references the same method keeps the `calls` edge regardless
of source order — the fcc dedup uses its own pair set, and the cross-file
pass sorts direct calls ahead of references.

Static (`Helper::fmt(...)`) and plain-function (`strlen(...)`) first-class
callables are out of scope: neither resolves to a method target today.

Tests: 7 new cases through the public extract() seam — plain, nullsafe and
`$this` forms (each with a same-named decoy asserted to get no edge), plus
regression guards for the ordinary member call, the ordinary `$this` call,
the `...$args` spread, and direct-call precedence.

…receivers (#9)

User story 11 promised no `calls` edge for a union- or intersection-typed
receiver. The cross-file resolver honoured it, but the extractor's legacy
in-file bare-name arm did not: `_php_defer` was derived from whether a
`receiver_type` had been STAMPED, so an annotation REFUSED by the
concrete-type policy looked exactly like no annotation at all. A one-file
`private Alpha|Beta $svc; $this->svc->run();` therefore bound to whichever
`run()` the file's label index saw last — file order — at EXTRACTED
confidence. Pre-existing, not a branch regression: it reproduces at the
merge-base 4e7e6b1.

The receiver table now distinguishes three states for a key: a concrete
type (resolve it), PRESENT-but-None (annotation refused as multi-class,
defer), and ABSENT (no annotation, keep today's in-file match). Precedence
is concrete > refusal > absent, so a union-typed param later assigned a
`new T()` still resolves to T while a poisoned one stays refused.

Deletion scope is deliberately narrow, since deferring removes edges that
exist today: only union (`A|B`) and intersection (`A&B`) annotations defer —
including `A|null`, which is semantically `?A` but parses as a union node.
The concrete-type policy's other refusals declare no multiplicity and keep
their in-file edge: `self`/`static`/`parent` (which name the calling class,
whose methods usually ARE the in-file match), primitives, and
`mixed`/`object`/`iterable`/`callable`. Genuinely untyped receivers and
`$this->method()` are untouched, preserving #2's accepted deviation and
user story 9. Named in the CHANGELOG.

Tests (all through the `extract()` seam): same-file union and intersection
variants for properties, params and a promoted param — the separate-file
negatives at tests/test_php_member_calls.py:211 spread `**_CORPUS`, which
puts the decoys in other files, so the in-file arm never ran and they
passed for the wrong reason; no intersection test existed at all. Plus
regression guards that untyped properties/params, `$this->method()` and a
`self`-typed property keep their same-file edges, locking the deletion
scope. 5 red before the fix, 9 green after.

`private (A&B)|C $x;` parses as a `disjunctive_normal_form_type` node, which
neither the property scanner nor the promoted-param scanner named among the
type shapes they accept. A DNF-typed property was therefore skipped outright
and invisible twice over:

  * it never reached the receiver type table, so it kept minting the
    same-file bare-name `calls` edge the previous commit removes — a DNF
    type is a union at top level, so it has no single receiver class either;
  * `_php_collect_type_refs` never walked it, so none of its classes got a
    `references` edge, unlike the plain union property beside it.

Naming the node in both scanners fixes both halves at once — they read the
same type node, one for the receiver table and one for the reference walk,
so the two cannot be separated without a throwaway DNF-only scan. Split out
from the union/intersection commit because the reference edges are a
behavior addition beyond issue 9's letter.

`_php_multi_typed_annotation` gains the node, so DNF refuses exactly like
`A|B` does; the deletion scope stated in the previous commit widens by this
one shape and the CHANGELOG says so.

Test asserts both halves through the `extract()` seam: no `calls` edge, and
`references` edges to the DNF's classes. Red before, green after.

`_php_name_text` flattens every written PHP type annotation to its short
name, so `private \Vendor\Sdk\Client $c;` was indistinguishable from
`private Client $c;` — the compounding half of the #16 false-edge bug.
Only inline-`new` kept the written form (`receiver_qualified`).

Thread the written qualified form alongside the short name through the
receiver-type table for all four annotation positions that type a
receiver — properties, constructor-promoted params, ordinary params and
`new`-bound locals — and stamp it on the raw-call fact as
`receiver_type_qualified`. The table's values become a `_PhpReceiverType`
(short, qualified) pair; `qualified` is set only when the annotation
carried a namespace separator, so unqualified annotations produce the
facts they produced before.

Strictly additive: every decision — binding, poisoning, the #9
multi-class refusal (key present, value None) and the resolver's
short-name lookup — is still taken on the short name alone. Two `new`s
naming the same short name through different written forms keep today's
binding and drop the conflicting qualified evidence rather than poisoning
the name. Nothing consults the new field yet; the decisive refusal that
closes #16 is #21.

Verified beyond the suite: over a PHP corpus exercising all four
positions plus unions, inline-`new`, same-short-name decoys and the
conflicting-written-forms case, the extract() graph is byte-identical to
v8 @ e188ff6.
A PHP file that writes `use Vendor\Sdk\Client;` has said which `Client` it
means, but `_resolve_php_member_calls` never read `use` statements: it bound
the receiver's short type name through a corpus-wide index whose only refusal
rule was "more than one candidate", so the lone unrelated `App\Local\Client`
satisfied the single-definition guard and minted an INFERRED 0.8 edge into a
class the file never imported (#16).

`PhpNameResolver` mirrors `CsharpNameResolver`: it answers with a
`(node_id, decisive)` verdict built from the `use` metadata on `imports` edges
(#19), the declared-FQN payload (#14) and the same type-definition index the
fallback uses, and is consulted in FRONT of that fallback exactly like the C#
call site. A claimed name that lands on no in-corpus class refuses instead of
falling back. Written qualified annotations (#20) resolve the same way, absolute
or namespace-relative.

Strictly subtractive by construction: every node the resolver returns is looked
up under the receiver's WRITTEN short name in the very index the fallback
consults, so a positive verdict is always the answer the fallback would have
given, and the only behavior change is the refusal. Binding an alias to a class
its short name does not name is a recall addition and stays with #22. Verified
differentially against v8 over a 34-file corpus of PHP receiver-typing shapes:
3 edges deleted, none added, re-pointed or re-scored.

The refusal needs no new persisted marker — the `use` map belongs to the calling
file, which an incremental rebuild always re-dispatches — and a path SHORTER
than the written name is read as a stripped composer prefix rather than as a
contradiction, so a class off its PSR-4 path keeps its edge on both paths.

This is the fix for #16; the issue stays open for the orchestrator's gate.
…#22)

The #21 refusal made a claimed name decisive but could only delete
edges. This is its additive counterpart: when the FQN a calling file
claims for a receiver's type — via `use`, `use ... as`, a group `use`,
or a qualified annotation — matches the name some in-corpus file
DECLARES for a class (the #14 payload), PhpNameResolver binds it,
selecting the imported one of several same-short-named classes and
following a renaming alias to a class the written short name would
never census. An FQN declared identically by two files poisons its
index entry rather than guessing; an unclaimed short name still runs
the unique-short-name fallback untouched, and every #16-style refusal
stands where no declared FQN matches.

Ships together with #23 (the persisted `_php_class_fqns` marker):
without it, every edge this adds would exist on full builds only and
silently vanish on the first incremental rebuild.

…ty (#23)

The php_class_fqns payload aligns 1:1 with the files dispatched THIS
run, so every edge the #22 declared-FQN binding adds existed on full
builds only and silently vanished on the first `graphify update` — the
exact failure mode #11 closed for the interface refusal. Stamp each PHP
file node with a persisted `_php_class_fqns` marker (the `_callable` /
`_php_non_class_types` channel), hand it back on the resolution-context
nodes in watch.py and cli.py, and re-inject it as synthetic per-file
payload entries so the resolver rebuilds its index for files the
incremental pass left untouched.

A graph.json written before the marker fails closed, matching the
established precedent: the #22 binding is simply absent — never
redirected to a namesake, with the #16 refusals still standing on path
evidence — until the defining file is re-extracted. Every #22 positive
scenario is mirrored under _full_then_incremental, plus pre-marker
variants pinning the fail-closed behavior.

Graphify review — findings

This pull request adds PHP instance-method call resolution that binds calls on typed receivers (properties, promoted constructor params, natively typed params, new T() locals, nullsafe receivers) to the method's actual class, introduces a new PhpNameResolver that reads use statements/aliases to resolve claimed type names against the corpus, and applies a "refuse-don't-guess" policy for ambiguous receivers (untyped, union/intersection, interface/enum/trait-typed, chained, etc.). It also changes several confidence assignments (typed same-file receivers move from EXTRACTED to INFERRED), routes PHP 8.1 first-class callables to indirect_call instead of calls, and scopes the PHP and Objective-C member-call resolvers to their own language's source suffixes. The changes span the extraction engine, resolution logic, watch/incremental-rebuild handling (persisting refusal-relevant type names), CLI stage timing, and CHANGELOG entries, with a large accompanying set of tests covering PHP member calls, aliases, qualified receivers, mixed-language corpora, and watch/rebuild idempotence. I've described intent and surface area only and have not evaluated whether the behavior is correct.

No blocking issues surfaced.

Same consolidated answer as on #2505, since this branch stacks on it and inherits four of its five coupling threads. Numbers from an AST scan against base 07b9143d; where the tool's count and mine differ I've used mine.

_php_method_receiver_types() (engine.py:809, 809-963) and _resolve_php_member_calls() (extract.py:3137, 3137-3322) do not exist at base — both are introduced by 43cd7a2 down the stack. No prior fan-out, so no delta.

walk_calls() (engine.py:4616) is a genuine +1: base engine.py:4201, 577 lines, 13 distinct project callees → head 734 lines, 14. The set difference is exactly one symbol (_php_name_text). Already the largest function in the file before this stack touched it. There is a clean extraction available at engine.py:4808-4847 (_php_member_receiver()), which I've tracked on our fork rather than doing here because it swaps one callee for another and would not clear the flag — happy to fold it in if you want it on readability grounds.

The two _full_then_incremental() threadstests/test_php_alias_binding.py:264 (7 callers) and tests/test_php_member_calls.py:1588 (9 callers) — are both new helpers in new files. Each is the full-extract-then-incremental-rebuild parity harness for its file, and the callers are the point: this PR's whole second commit exists because the declared-FQN binding would otherwise be a full-build-only feature, so every test here has to assert both build paths together. A full-build-only assertion is green on the broken code. Both are confined to tests/; no production symbol's coupling changed.

Nothing here I'd propose acting on, but tell me if the gate is blocking and I'll revisit.
