Overview

Coordinates method dispatch for the inference engine.

Given ‘(receiver_type, method_name, arg_types, block_type, environment)`, the dispatcher returns the inferred result type or `nil` when no rule matches. `nil` is a deliberately blunt “I don’t know” signal: callers (today only ‘ExpressionTyper`) own the fail-soft fallback and decide whether to record a `FallbackTracer` event.

Tier order is documented inline in ‘resolve`; the precise-tier group is built from `PRECISE_TIERS_HEAD`, `STDLIB_SINGLETON_FOLDERS`, and `PRECISE_TIERS_TAIL`. `ShapeDispatch` runs above RbsDispatch so a precise per-position/per-key answer wins over the projected `Array#[]`/`Hash#fetch` RBS answer.

The ‘block_type:` and plugin contribution (`dynamic_return`) tiers landed in Slice 6 phase C and v0.1.1 Track 2 respectively; all call sites pass through `dispatch`/`resolve` unchanged.

.boundary_cross_class_name(receiver_type, environment, rbs_result) ⇒ Object

Composite preflight for #record_boundary_cross_if_applicable. Returns the receiver class name only when every prerequisite for emitting the diagnostic is satisfied (environment carries an index + reporter, receiver is a nominal carrier, RBS-side result is not the trivial ‘Dynamic` envelope). Returns `nil` to short-circuit otherwise.

.class_new_lift(class_name, arg_types) ⇒ Object

‘Class.new` and `Class.new(Parent)` create a brand-new anonymous class. Statically that class is representable as the parent’s singleton type — its singleton-method surface is the parent’s (plus whatever the block defines, which we do not statically track here), so ‘Singleton` lets downstream `klass.some_class_method` resolve. No parent →`singleton(Object)`. Anything else (dynamic parent, more than one positional, …) falls back to `Nominal` via the surrounding `meta_new` tail.

.collect_plugin_contributions(registry, call_node, scope, receiver_type) ⇒ Object

Collects every plugin’s flow / dynamic-return contribution for one call site. Two prunings keep this off the hot path on plugin-heavy projects (it was the #1 allocation site and a top CPU cost):

  1. Only the plugins that structurally implement a per-call path are visited — ‘registry.contribution_index.for_method_dispatch` is the registry-ordered subset declaring a `dynamic_return`. Iterating the subset in registry order, and gating each path by membership, yields the exact same contributions in the same order as visiting every plugin would (a skipped plugin’s call returns nil/[] anyway). The receiver-class ancestry match still happens per dispatch inside ‘dynamic_return_type`.

  2. Contributions accumulate lazily — allocate only when one actually appears, and share a frozen empty array otherwise. The caller treats the result as read-only (‘.empty?` / `Merger.merge`).

  3. ADR-52 WD1 — method-name gates compiled at registry build. The global gate makes the common “no plugin cares about this call” case a single Set probe; the per-plugin gate skips a plugin whose ‘dynamic_return` rules are all `methods:`-gated on other names. A pruned consultation could only have returned nil, so contribution order and content are unchanged.

Resolves the ‘(class_name, kind)` pair scope_indexer keys its `discovered_methods` table on. `Nominal` looks up instance methods on X; `Singleton` looks up singleton methods on X. Other carriers return `[nil, nil]` so the tier declines.

.dispatch(receiver_type:, method_name:, arg_types:, block_type: nil, environment: nil, call_node: nil, scope: nil) ⇒ Rigor::Type?

Returns inferred result type, or ‘nil` for “no rule”.

Parameters:

  • receiver_type (Rigor::Type, nil) —

    type of the receiver expression, or ‘nil` for an implicit-self call.

  • method_name (Symbol)
  • arg_types (Array<Rigor::Type>) —

    positional argument types.

  • block_type (Rigor::Type, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    inferred return type of the accompanying ‘do … end` / `{ … }` block (Slice 6 phase C sub-phase 2). When non-nil, the dispatcher prefers an overload that declares a block, and binds the method’s block-return type variable to ‘block_type` so a return type like `Array` resolves to `Array`.

  • environment (Rigor::Environment, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    required for RBS-backed dispatch; when nil only constant folding can fire.

Returns:

  • (Rigor::Type, nil) —

    inferred result type, or ‘nil` for “no rule”.

.expected_block_param_types(receiver_type:, method_name:, arg_types:, environment: nil) ⇒ Array<Rigor::Type>

Returns the positional block parameter types declared by the receiving method’s selected RBS overload, translated into ‘Rigor::Type`. Used by the StatementEvaluator’s CallNode handler to bind block parameter names before evaluating the block body.

The probe is best-effort: it returns an empty array whenever the receiver, environment, method definition, or selected overload does not provide statically declared block parameter types. Callers MUST treat the empty array as “no information”; the binder falls back to ‘Dynamic` for every parameter slot in that case.

.explicit_non_self_receiver?(call_node) ⇒ Boolean

True when the call node carries an explicit receiver that is not the literal ‘self`. Such a call cannot legally dispatch to a private method, so the user-class fallback must skip private signatures rather than return a confidently-wrong type. Returns false for implicit-self calls and `self.`-receiver calls (both may legally reach a private method in modern Ruby), and false when no `call_node` is supplied (internal dispatcher callers).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

.hash_new_lift(class_name, arg_types) ⇒ Object

‘Hash.new(default)` — lifts the default value’s type into the Hash’s value parameter so a subsequent ‘h` read surfaces the default type rather than `Dynamic`. The common counter idiom `h = Hash.new(0); h += 1` then types the read as `Integer`. The key parameter is left `untyped` (the default carrier imposes no key constraint), so reads of any key resolve through the value parameter. A value-pinned `Constant` default (`0`) is widened to its nominal (`Integer`): the hash’s values mutate over its lifetime, so pinning the parameter to the literal would be unsound for the aggregate.

Only the single-argument default form folds. The zero-arg (‘Hash.new`) and the block form (`Hash.new { |h, k| … }`) keep the bare `Nominal` answer — the block’s value type is not available at this ‘:new` dispatch site, and conservatively leaving the read as today’s behaviour is precision-additive.

.meta_new(receiver_type, arg_types = []) ⇒ Object

‘Singleton.new` returns `Nominal` (a fresh instance), regardless of whether Foo is in RBS. This short-circuits the Class.new generic-`instance` plumbing for user classes, so a discovered-class `ScanAccumulator.new` types as `Nominal` rather than `Class`.

v0.0.7 — for the curated set of immutable scalar-shaped classes that ‘Type::Constant::SCALAR_CLASSES` accepts (today: `Pathname`), `.new(Constant<…>)` lifts to a `Constant<…>` carrier so downstream method calls fold through the standard catalog tier.

First non-nil promotion wins. Tier B (origin_module) and Tier C (return_type nominal lookup) are tried in the same registration-order pass per WD11 first-wins —the slice-3b scanner sets ‘origin_module` for Tier B entries and leaves it absent for Tier C, so the two paths self-route per match.

Nil endpoints (beginless / endless ranges) are not folded because the useful instance methods (`to_a`, `first`, `last`) are not defined for them; the RBS tier answers `Nominal` for those forms.

.record_boundary_cross_if_applicable(receiver_type, method_name, rbs_result, environment) ⇒ Object

ADR-10 slice 5c — record a ‘dynamic.dependency-source.boundary-cross` event when RBS dispatch resolves a call AND the receiver class belongs to a `mode: :full` opt-in gem whose Walker also catalogued the same `(class_name, method_name)`. The dispatcher still returns the RBS answer (per ADR-10’s tier order: authoritative-source wins), but the reporter accumulates the crossing for end-of-run audit diagnostics.

Five honest fall-throughs keep the gate narrow:

  • environment / index / reporter missing — slice 5c needs all three.

  • receiver has no nominal class name (Dynamic-only carriers) — nothing to look up.

  • receiver class doesn’t belong to a ‘mode: :full` gem — the user didn’t opt this gem into the distinct dispatch path.

  • the gem-source catalog has no entry for the method —only RBS knows about it; nothing to cross.

  • the RBS-side result is itself ‘Dynamic` — the “agreement” is trivially `untyped ≈ untyped`, no meaningful divergence to flag.

.struct_new_lift(class_name, arg_types) ⇒ Object

‘Struct.new(:a, :b)` synthesises an anonymous Struct subclass (a class object), not a Struct instance — so the chained idiom `Struct.new(:a, :b).new(1, 2)` must resolve `.new` again on a class-like carrier. The constant-bound form (`S = Struct.new(:a); S.new(1)`) already records `Singleton` via `ScopeIndexer#record_meta_new_constant?`; this lift gives the chained (anonymous) position the same class-like carrier so the trailing `.new` dispatches instead of firing a spurious `undefined method ’new’ for Struct`.

The disambiguation mirrors ‘ScopeIndexer#struct_new_call?`: a call whose positionals are all `Constant<Symbol>` literals is a member-list class definition → `Singleton`. The following `AnonStruct.new(1, 2)` carries non-symbol args, so it falls through this gate to `Nominal` (a fresh instance) via the `meta_new` tail. ADR-48 deferred full Struct value folding (member-reader precision) on mutability grounds; this is the narrower `.new`-dispatch-only fix and contributes no member layout, so `instance.a` stays at its RBS/Dynamic type.

On a hit, returns `Combinator.untyped` so the call site carries the `Dynamic` provenance (per ADR-10’s “Inference contract”: gem-source-inferred shapes never publish as ground-truth ‘T`). Returns `nil` when the environment carries no index, the index has no entry, or the receiver has no nominal class to look up.

.try_discovered_method(receiver_type, method_name, scope) ⇒ Object

v0.1.3 — discovered-method dispatch tier. ‘scope` carries the `discovered_methods` table built once per program by `ScopeIndexer` (a `Hash[String, Hash[Symbol, :instance | :singleton]]`). When the receiver names a discovered class AND the requested method is recorded for that class’s appropriate kind, return ‘Type::Combinator.untyped` — the dispatcher cannot infer a more precise return type from the bare `def` shape, but the call site stops being a fail-soft hot spot.

Returns ‘nil` when scope / receiver class is unavailable, when the method is not in the discovered table, OR when `discovered_def_nodes` carries a re-typable body for the method (so the downstream `ExpressionTyper#try_user_method_inference` tier can re-type the body for a precise return type rather than collapsing to `Dynamic` here).

The tier does NOT gate on ‘rbs_class_known?`. RBS dispatch already had its turn upstream and returned `nil` (otherwise we wouldn’t be here). When RBS knows the class but the particular method is missing from the sig — common for internal helpers and for auto-generated stubs that emit ‘class X` without enumerating every method — falling through to the user-class fallback would mistakenly fire `call.undefined-method`. Honoring the discovered table here keeps the sibling-private call resolution working under partial RBS coverage.

.try_hkt_builtin_return(receiver_type, method_name, arg_types, environment) ⇒ Object

ADR-20 slice 3 — looks up the receiver / method pair in Builtins::HktBuiltins::METHOD_RETURN_OVERRIDES and returns the reduced HKT type. Only fires when the receiver is a Type::Singleton (the ‘JSON.parse` shape) and the registry-backed reduction succeeds; returns `nil` otherwise so the dispatcher falls through to RBS.

.try_meta_introspection(receiver_type, method_name, arg_types = []) ⇒ Object

Slice 7 phase 8 — meta-introspection shortcuts. The default ‘Object#class` RBS return type is `Class`, but for a receiver of known nominal identity we can do better: `instance_of(Foo).class` is `Singleton` (the class object itself), which downstream dispatch uses to resolve `self.class.some_class_method`. The same logic answers `Foo.class` as `Singleton` (deliberate; calling `.class` on a class object yields `Class`, the metaclass). We also special-case `is_a?`- adjacent calls and the trivial `instance_of?(self)` later as the rule catalogue grows; for now only `class` is handled.

.try_plugin_contribution(call_node, scope, receiver_type) ⇒ Object

ADR-2 § “Flow Contribution Bundle” / v0.1.1 Track 2 slice 7; ADR-52 WD3 — consults each loaded plugin’s gated ‘dynamic_return` rules, wraps the contributed types as `FlowContribution` bundles, merges them through `FlowContribution::Merger`, and returns the merged `return_type` slot (or nil when no plugin contributed a return type).

Plugins whose hook raises have their contribution silently dropped for this call so the dispatch chain keeps moving — the run-level diagnostic envelope (per ADR-2 § “Plugin Trust and I/O Policy”) is owned by ‘Analysis::Runner#plugin_emitted_diagnostics`.

.try_project_patched_method(receiver_type, method_name, environment) ⇒ Object

ADR-17 slice 2 — project-side patched-method tier. Slice 3a uses the registry’s heuristic-extracted ‘return_type` (populated via the same `Analysis::DependencySourceInference::ReturnTypeHeuristic` the ADR-10 walker uses): a `def to_url; “hello”; end` patched onto `String` now resolves `s.to_url` to `Dynamic[Nominal]` instead of the pre-3a `Dynamic`. Falls back to `Dynamic` when the heuristic declined (non-literal tail expression).

.try_static_refinement(receiver_type, method_name, arg_types) ⇒ Object

Consults the Rigor-bundled static refinement table for a (owner-class, method-name, kind) entry. Kernel methods are mixed into every non-BasicObject class, so an implicit-self ‘__dir__` call (receiver_type = Nominal) is matched by looking up Kernel as the owner. Explicit `Kernel.__dir__` (receiver_type = Singleton) and instance-side calls (receiver_type = Nominal) share the `:both` row.

The receiver-side ancestor check is intentionally cheap: any non-BasicObject Nominal / Singleton matches every Kernel-owned override. BasicObject explicitly excludes Kernel and is therefore rejected. The narrow risk of a user-defined ‘def __dir__` shadowing Kernel’s method would also alter the runtime answer; users with that configuration opt out via a ‘signature_paths` overlay declaring their own return type.

.try_synthesized_stub_type(receiver_type, environment) ⇒ Object

ADR-5 robustness — returns ‘Dynamic` when the receiver is an instance or singleton of a type Rigor synthesized (a missing-namespace module or a referenced-type stub). The stub has no methods, so the call would otherwise reach the user-class fallback and surface `call.undefined-method`; the honest answer for a type Rigor invented is “unknown shape”, i.e. `Dynamic`. Returns nil (declines) for any real type.

.try_synthetic_method(receiver_type, method_name, arg_types, block_type, environment) ⇒ Object

ADR-16 synthetic-method tier. Slice 2b shipped the floor —a match short-circuits at the right precedence (above dep-source / discovered / user-class-fallback; below RBS) and returns ‘Dynamic`. Slice 6 (precision promotion):

  • Tier B path (slice 6a, ‘provenance` recorded by the slice-3b scanner): redispatch on `Nominal` via `RbsDispatch` so the module’s authored RBS return type wins. Devise’s ‘valid_password?` returns `bool`, not `Dynamic`.

  • Tier C path (slice 6b, plain ‘return_type:` string from the manifest’s emit table): look up ‘environment.nominal_for_name(return_type)` so `attribute :avatar, Types::String` emits a synthetic reader returning `Nominal` (when the class is in RBS). Unparameterised class names only — parameterised forms (`Array`, `Hash[K, V]`) and plugin-supplied utility-type names (`Pick<T, K>`) require routing through the full ADR-13 `Plugin::TypeNodeResolver` chain, which slice 6 does not yet wire in (the resolver chain is consulted only for `%arigor:v1:…` payloads as of ADR-13 slice 3).
