Resolving a metadata file to its assembly node learned to descend into packages,
but three sibling lookups kept their own scan of the root's direct children, so
a token reference, a metadata:// link and a LoadedAssembly reference still
resolved to nothing inside a package. One of them sat behind a guard whose
result was never used, which returned early for exactly the case it was meant to
serve. Routing all of them through the one lookup fixes them together.
Namespaces were matched by comparing a full name against a node label, which is
only ever equal in flat mode: with nested namespace nodes the label is the last
segment, and the empty-name test matched the first child rather than the global
namespace node. The assembly node already indexes its namespaces by full name.
The descent itself no longer sweeps the package depth-first. Expanding a folder
resolves and extracts every .dll it holds, so the path is taken from the
package's folder graph, which costs no tree node and reads no entry.
