Research direction

Locate the implementation of the Y_CHECK_SELF_REFERENCE check and any tests covering instance-method calls. Reproduce the example using me->values, then update the check so method-call parameters do not trigger the self-reference warning; done means the example no longer reports a violation while genuine self-references remain checked.
