fix: Hot reload names the file to pass when an added method cannot bind to a compiled API

[hatayama]

Summary

• When hot reload skips an added method because its body binds against a compiled API that still names the compiled copy of a type this reload declares from source, the skipped row now names both types and the file to pass as well, instead of only "run uloop compile".

User Impact

• Before: a reload that contains a compiled type's file (passed explicitly, or pulled back in as an active sibling, e.g. by an argument-less reload) made an added method that hands a lambda to a compiled Register(Action<T>) skip with the raw diagnostic and "Run 'uloop compile'". The file that fixes it has no patch of its own, so it is never selected or re-applied automatically, and nothing in the response said which file it was.
• After: the row reads "this reload declares 'T' from source, while the compiled signatures of 'Registry' still name the compiled 'T', so it is skipped. Pass '' to this reload as well so both bind to the same type. Otherwise run 'uloop compile'." Passing that file applies the method.

Changes

• Worker: when an added body fails to bind, walk the invocations, member accesses, element accesses and object creations that an error span touches (bound symbol plus candidates; for a member access with neither, a compiled extension looked up on the compiled copy of the receiver type, since CS1929 leaves nothing to read) for compiled members whose signatures (return, parameters, type arguments, arrays, property/field/event types) name a type of the same assembly that this run also declares from source. If any are found, report the new AddedMethodBodyBindsCompiledSignature code with the split types and the declaring types' metadata names (typeMetadataNames); otherwise keep AddedMethodBodyUnbound unchanged.
• Editor: after validating the worker output, resolve those metadata names to files through the target assembly's PDB sequence-point documents and append the pass target. Nested types use the metadata form on both sides. The completion follows the reason's detail chain, so a split carried as the detail of another reason (a member reading an added property whose own body split) renders too. An unresolved type is named as "the file that declares 'T'"; a PDB read failure, including a PDB from another build, does not fail the reload.
• No automatic inclusion of the declaring file; the hint makes recovery a single extra reload.
• Docs: Skipped table row in the hot-reload skill's scope-and-limits reference (and regenerated copies).

Verification

• uloop compile: 0 errors.
• uloop run-tests --filter-type class, one class at a time:
  • TransformWorkerBindingSplitTests 9/9 (new: names the declaring file; nested declaring type in metadata form; compiled indexer; compiled extension on the receiver; a typo beside a binding compiled call keeps the plain reason; passing the declaring file adds the method)
  • TransformWorkerCompiledTypeFileCompleterTests 2/2 (new: split reason as a detail is completed; PDB of another build falls back to the type name)
  • HotReloadBindingSplitE2ETests 1/1 (new: payload file re-applied as an active sibling, skipped row names the registry file)
  • HotReloadWorkerReasonTextTests 123/123, TransformWorkerDtoSyncTests 2/2, TransformWorkerClientTests 84/84
• Red checks: collector forced to report nothing -> 3 split tests fail; Editor completion disabled -> the E2E fails; removing the error-span filter, the element access, the extension lookup, the detail walk, or the widened catch each fails its new test.
• check-file-length, CA1502 complexity, check-skill-size, sync-tool-docs: clean.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The hot-reload worker now detects compiled-signature binding splits, reports the related type metadata, resolves declaring source files, and renders recovery guidance. Tests cover direct and nested registry types, successful reapplication, skipped methods, and end-to-end behavior.

`@Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/Shared/TransformWorkerCompiledTypeFileCompleter.cs`:
- Around line 80-83: The exception filter in Complete currently misses
SymbolsNotMatchingException from PortablePdbReaderProvider, allowing mismatched
PDBs to fail reload. Include SymbolsNotMatchingException in the handled cases so
Complete clears filesByType and returns the empty map, and add coverage for a
mismatched PDB.

In
`@Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/TransformWorker`~/CompiledSignatureSplitCollector.cs:
- Around line 31-35: Update CompiledSignatureSplitCollector.Collect and its
caller DescribeUnboundBody to accept the binding diagnostic location, resolve
the relevant invocation, member-access, or object-creation node whose span
contains that location, and only call AddSplit for that node’s symbol and
CandidateSymbols. Prevent unrelated successfully bound member uses elsewhere in
the method body from affecting split classification.
- Around line 42-47: Update IsMemberUse to recognize
ElementAccessExpressionSyntax so indexer accesses such as registry[payload] are
scanned at the node resolving the indexer symbol; add a test covering this
access and verifying the expected declaring-file guidance.
