Structural Matching

Reseam matches bytecode with structural queries, ranked candidates, and runtime bindings.

The main authoring entry points are:

• ctx.findMethod { ... }
• ctx.findMethods { ... }
• ctx.findClass { ... }
• ctx.bind<T> { ... }

These queries are index-backed for the duration of the patch run. Structural signals narrow the candidate set first, then rankBy(...) breaks ties on the remaining matches.

Common signals include:

• string constants
• literal values
• return type
• exact parameter list
• parameter presence
• containing class
• caller and callee relationships
• opcode presence
• class field shape

When a query fails, the engine reports:

• how many indexed candidates were considered
• which constraints were applied
• near misses and why they lost

Use Queries And Bindings for the authoring surface and Runtime surface for the lower-level bytecode APIs.
