The Ruby extractor dropped the method name from a `receiver.method` call:
`lg.log()` was recorded as a call to `lg` (the bare receiver), which
matches no symbol, so the reference resolved to nothing and no method
edge was ever produced. A Ruby method invoked through a receiver had no
recorded callers and was invisible to impact/blast-radius and explore
flow traces. This is the Ruby-specific blocker noted in #1108 — that
local-variable type-inference fix couldn't help Ruby because the call
reference itself was missing.
extractCall recognized receiver-bearing calls by the `object`/`name`/
`function` fields other grammars use; tree-sitter-ruby's `call` node uses
`receiver` + `method`, so it fell through to the generic fallback that
takes the first named child (the receiver) as the callee. Handle Ruby
`call`/`method_call` explicitly: build `receiver.method`, keep bare
`foo(...)` as the method name, emit `Foo.new` as an `instantiates` ref,
and give a capitalized (constant) receiver a `references` edge so a class
used only via its class methods still records a dependent.
With this plus #1108, `lg = Logger.new; lg.log` resolves `lg.log` to
`Logger#log`, and the two-file same-name case is same-file-correct
(#1079). Adds Ruby to the local-variable inference test matrix plus a
focused test asserting `Foo.new` stays an instantiation.
