Research direction
Start by tracing the global data flow logic that finds methods through exact JavaType.Method comparisons. Investigate how polymorphic method calls are represented and where their possible targets are resolved. Done means data flow is supported for calls whose target method is polymorphic, with behavior verified by the relevant analysis tests, though no specific test file is named in the issue.
