 * nothing, for two reasons. The lists are shared by modules that also need to
 * read each other, and a lexicon that sits under `locking.ts` closes an import
 * cycle the moment locking wants to read a declaration. And the lexicon's job
 * has shrunk: an action's effect is DECLARED on its ActionSpec now, so these
 * verbs answer only for names that have no declaration to read (Epic's
 * runtime-injected engine tools, a plugin action whose manifest stayed silent,
 * a raw bridge method a handler calls that no action forwards to).
 *
 * A name-based answer is a guess. Every caller here records it as one.
