That is called only from resolve_with_admission / resolve_with_admission_grounded, each forwarding default_name_resolution_policy(). Upstream: assemble_program_from_ingest / assemble_program_from_module_roots (ONE resolve per ingest assembly over all validated_roots), compile_ingest_with_admission / compile_source_root_ingest_with_admission (ONE resolve per compile entry), plus isolated claim tests.
