+    a sibling impl file into ONE node, for C/C++/ObjC (#1547, #1556).
+
+    A class declared in ``Foo.h`` (``class Foo`` / ``@interface Foo``) and defined
+    in the sibling ``Foo.cpp`` / ``Foo.m`` (``@implementation Foo``, plus — after
+    the C++ qualified-name fix — out-of-class method definitions ``Foo::bar``)
+    produces TWO nodes per symbol. Both are keyed off the file *stem*, and
+    ``_file_stem`` drops the extension, so the header symbol and its impl
+    counterpart get the IDENTICAL id and differ only in ``source_file`` and label
+    (the C++ def label is ``Foo::bar()`` vs the decl's ``bar``; the ObjC impl class
+    label equals the interface's). Left alone, ``_disambiguate_colliding_node_ids``
+    SPLITS those id-collisions apart by path, fragmenting one class into two def
+    nodes — which then trips every resolver's single-definition god-node guard
+    (``len(defs) != 1`` -> bail), cascading into lost .h<->.m/.cpp linkage and dead
+    cross-file calls.
+
+    This pass runs BEFORE disambiguation and collapses each such id-collision to
+    ONE node — the header (declaration) variant, consistent with the #1475
+    header_remaps direction — so disambiguation sees a single source_file per id
+    and leaves it alone, and the downstream resolvers see ONE definition. Because
+    the colliding nodes already share an id, no edge re-pointing is needed: every
+    edge that referenced the impl symbol already points at the surviving id. We
+    only drop the redundant duplicate node and prefer the header's label.
+
+    GOD-NODE GUARDS (false merges are the main risk):
+
+      * Collapse fires ONLY when every node in an id-collision group comes from a
+        SIBLING header/impl set — same directory, same base stem (ObjC categories
+        ``Foo+Cat.m`` compare by the stem before ``+``), header extension paired
+        with impl extension — AND the group contains exactly ONE header file.
+      * Two unrelated ``class Logger`` in DIFFERENT directories never collide on id
+        (the id embeds the full file stem / directory path), so they are never
+        grouped and never merge. Two same-named classes in the SAME directory but
+        different base stems likewise key to different ids. Any id-collision that
+        is NOT a clean single-header sibling set is left untouched for
+        disambiguation to split (the conservative default).
+
+    The class and its method/field members fold in together: members are keyed
+    ``_make_id(class_id, name)`` (ObjC) or, for an out-of-class C++ definition,
+    ``_make_id(stem, "Foo::bar")`` which normalizes to the same id as the in-class
+    member ``_make_id(class_id, "bar")``. So every decl/def member pair is itself an
+    id-collision across the same sibling file set and collapses by the same rule.
