+/* ── Python namespace records (package re-exports) ────────────────────────
+ *
+ * A package's namespace holds what its __init__ imports, not only what it
+ * defines: `models.CharField` exists because django/db/models/__init__.py
+ * star-imports its fields module. This turns a module's ordered namespace
+ * facts (cbm_extract_python_namespace_facts) into records next to its
+ * definitions:
+ *   PyReexport    a name the module's imports bind at the end of its top
+ *                 level: short_name = the bound local, receiver_type = the
+ *                 import's RAW module spec (one '.' per relative level, then
+ *                 the dotted module), method_names_str = the imported member
+ *   PyStarImport  `from X import *`: receiver_type = X's raw module spec
+ *   PyAll         a literal `__all__`: method_names_str = "a|b|c"
+ * Records are content-only -- built from the facts alone, with no import map
+ * and no graph -- so every driver, the incremental surface probe and the
+ * stored surface rows produce the same bytes for the same source, and the
+ * records of an unchanged file travel through its surface row. The Python
+ * cross registry resolves the specs to project modules and folds the records
+ * into its export table (py_build_module_namespaces). The replay is
+ * conservative: a later own definition, module import, shadow or delete drops
+ * a name; a whole-namespace UNKNOWN fact (an effect, a compound statement)
+ * drops everything recorded before it, and later exact facts record again;
+ * `__all__` is published only as a literal. Facts that are not COMPLETE
