Description
Malware often obfuscate their API calls and dynamically resolve the needed API calls. It would be better if we can apply the function signature after we handle the obfuscation and rename the function to its actual name. This can be done either automatically from the core, automatically from the UI, or manually triggered.

Research direction
Review the symbol-renaming flow and existing TypeLibrary lookup entry points in the core and UI; the issue names no files or tests. Compare the requested behavior with related issue #3205, then define a trigger path so renaming an obfuscated function can apply its matching function signature, with the result verifiable after the rename.
