Research direction
Start by reproducing the go-to-definition behavior described in the issue, using a namespace part and a local variable with the same name. Trace the definition-resolution path for that navigation request and verify that the namespace resolves to its namespace definition rather than the variable. Done means the reported case navigates correctly and existing behavior remains intact.
