Pin::BaseVariable treats every variable as lexically scoped, giving up once the reading closure's namespace walk finds no match. Ancestor ivar-assignment candidates from get_instance_variable_pins were discarded, since a descendant class is never lexically nested inside the ancestor class that defines it. InstanceVariable now accepts a pin once the walk bottoms out with no match, and only enforces same-file placement when presence (flow-sensitive narrowing) is actually set. Fixes castwide#1261

Pin::BaseVariable#visible_at?/#visible_in_closure?treats every variable as lexically scoped, walking the closure nesting of the reading site and giving up once it reaches an enclosingNamespacepin with no matching binder namespace.ApiMap#get_instance_variable_pinsalready walks the superclass chain to gather ivar-assignment candidates from ancestor classes, butvar_at_locationdiscarded those candidates anyway, because a descendant class's namespace is never lexically nested inside its ancestor's.Pin::InstanceVariablenow overridesvisible_in_closure?to accept a pin once the lexical walk bottoms out at aNamespacewith no match, sinceget_instance_variable_pinshas already restricted candidates to the reading namespace and its ancestors. It also overridesvisible_at?so the same-file requirement only applies whenpresence(flow-sensitive narrowing) is actually set - a plain, unnarrowed ivar assignment can legitimately live in a different file than the read (e.g. an ancestor class defined in its own file).Example that now typechecks cleanly at
