 * current: { form, name } of the input that was asked, or { form, names } when the asked input is one of several
 * (an any_of group: phone, email or account number); every member counts as the current input. choiceKey: the key

 *
 * Readings that claim DIFFERENT parts of the answer are all taken (a compound answer fills several inputs). Readings
 * that claim the SAME part are settled by scope (owner decision 2026-10-19, A):
 *   1. the current input takes it;
 *   2. else the one input of the current form that fits takes it, and parent forms are not considered;
 *   3. else the same test one form up, and so on;
 *   4. two inputs at the nearest form that fits are ambiguous: asked, never ranked.
 * Exception: an input that declares `confirm_against: [names]` is asked about together with those inputs whenever both
 * fit the same words, wherever scope would have put it ('62' at the payment offer: $62 or sub-account 62, prod
 * 2026-10-19 07:38).
 *
 * Returns { hits, ambiguous }:
 *   hits      — what the answer fills, each { form, name, value, known } (`known`: equals the stored value);
 *   ambiguous — the readings to ask about (the first such group), or empty.
