reference_resolution_order

Katz 0.053

For each `.rq` file, identify the names in local scope, then resolve references.
Sequence:
1. Collect all idea, one-liner, and ideaset declarations in the file. Declaration order does not change which names are in scope.
2. Collect reference candidates in the file.
3. Resolve each candidate against those local declarations.
4. Resolve imports only for candidates that have no local match. Stop import lookup for a candidate when a local match exists.
The language server and the indexer must use this sequence.
Open-file editor underlines follow open_file_reference_sequencing.
