/**
 * Resolves an IR node to its registered ref-type name, registering a new entry
 * if needed. Returns `undefined` when the node has no signature.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * 1. Self-reference: if `ir.name === c.rootName` and `detectSelfReferenceToRoot`
 *    is enabled (default true), short-circuits to the root name without registering.
 * 2. Signature dedup: if `languageProfile.shouldReuseExistingSignature(sig)`
 *    returns true and an entry already exists for the signature, reuses it.
 * 3. Otherwise resolves a name (via the language profile's `resolveRefTypeName`
 *    hook or the default path-derived resolver), then either reuses an existing
 *    matching entry or registers a fresh one. Code is generated by calling back
 *    into `c.generateObjectType` and assigned via the held entry reference (so
 *    recursion sees an entry-in-progress).
