+// Phase 3 step 3.1 (PLAN-FFI.md): static call `Cls.class_method(args)`
+// on an `#objc_class` alias lowers to `objc_msg_send` against the class
+// object (loaded once per module via `objc_getClass` and cached). The
+// selector is derived by the same default mangling as Phase 3.0
+// (`stringWithUTF8String_(s)` → "stringWithUTF8String:").
+//
+// Mirrors the JNI surface (`Alias.new(...)` etc.); the lowering
+// disambiguates static vs instance by looking at `method.is_static` on
+// the foreign-class member.
+//
+// Pre-3.1: `lowerForeignStaticCall` only handles JNI runtime + the
+// `new` constructor; any other static call bails. Snapshot pins the
+// bail diagnostic.
