Fixes #37.

The expression emitters conservatively global-qualify crate-local free-fn/const references as ::<item> — correct in legacy flat-export mode, but under --cxx-namespace/--auto-namespace those refs look in the (now-empty) global namespace and miss. This is the same gap wrap_module_purview_in_crate_namespace closes for the dep pipeline with its Rule 4; the CLI namespace wrap had no requalification pass.

Fix: at the wrap-close, rewrite ::<item>::<ns>::<item> for every declared crate-root item name (C++-escaped, sorted for determinism) using the existing boundary-aware requalify_crate_root_symbol (leaves x::item, .item(, >::item, already-qualified forms untouched; single pass, cannot double-prefix).

Verification:

  • bin unit suite 1910/1910
  • e2e_basic 31/31 incl. new regression test_cxx_namespace_requalifies_crate_root_item_refs
  • guard/runtime/trait/parity-matrix integration suites green; parity_test_verification 43/43
  • either_parity_harness fails identically on clean main in this environment (pre-existing, not touched)

Real-world case: the srpc crate (mako repo, crates/srpc) — --auto-namespace output for srpc.wire.varint (::val_size/::buf_size self-refs) and srpc.wire.archive now compiles under clang 22 / C++23 modules.

Fixes #37. The expression emitters conservatively global-qualify
crate-local free-fn/const references as `::<item>` — correct in the
legacy flat-export mode where crate items land at global scope, but
once `--cxx-namespace`/`--auto-namespace` wraps the module purview
those references look in the (now-empty) global namespace and miss:

    namespace srpc::wire::varint {
      export size_t dump64(...) { auto n = ::val_size(val); ... }
    }
    error: no member named 'val_size' in the global namespace

This is the same gap wrap_module_purview_in_crate_namespace closes for
the dep pipeline with its Rule 4; the CLI namespace wrap had no
requalification pass at all. Close it with the same mechanics at the
wrap-close: every declared crate-root item name (C++-escaped to match
emission, sorted for deterministic output) is rewritten `::<item>` ->
`::<ns>::<item>` by the boundary-aware requalify_crate_root_symbol,
which leaves `x::item`, `.item(`, `>::item`, and already-qualified
`::<ns>::item` untouched and cannot double-prefix (single pass, never
re-scans its output).

Verified: bin unit suite 1910/1910; e2e_basic 31/31 incl. the new
test_cxx_namespace_requalifies_crate_root_item_refs regression;
guard/runtime/trait/parity-matrix integration suites green;
parity_test_verification 43/43. (either_parity_harness fails
identically on clean main in this environment — pre-existing.)
Real-world case: the srpc crate (mako repo) — namespace-mode
srpc.wire.varint and srpc.wire.archive now compile under clang 22.

Full-stack verification: with #41 + #42 + #43 + #45 merged locally (verify-stack), the srpc crate (mako crates/srpc) transpiles --crate --auto-namespace with 0 errors and all six emitted modules compile under clang 22 / C++23 modules: srpc.wire.{varint,archive,frame,serde}, srpc.wire, srpc — 6/6. (Issue #44 was sidestepped srpc-side by moving the varint API to idiomatic slice params.)
