# resolve_sprint_item_pointers [SUPPORT] 2976e168 — resolve EVERY generic pointer on a sprint item to its concrete location, dispatching by selector.type. A range target returns its location as-is; symbol resolves the qualified_name against the SAME live three-rung chain prospect_symbol uses (graph → Serena → semantic, 653579c5) when this session has an active code tunnel, falling back to the cached code-graph snapshot when it doesn't; node_id looks the element up in the doc-structure store; zotero_key resolves via Zotero's local API; text_quote re-fetches the URL (or docx paragraph text) and flags content drift; finding_id looks up a save_finding artifact note. 62640241 — directory walks the local root and returns a manifest + manifest_hash; git shells out to git rev-parse against a local clone to check ref/commit reachability against HEAD; artifact hashes a local manifest file for its current fingerprint; remote_fs has no core-local default (requires a tunnel-backed resolver — reported explicitly unresolved without one). Every one of these five ALSO gets a recomputed freshness_state (current/stale/unknown/unavailable/ambiguous) on its resolved target, comparing the target's declared freshness proof (if any) against what resolution finds right now. A subSelector narrows the outer resolution ('these lines, within this function'). Every dispatch is best-effort: an unresolvable target yields {resolved:false, reason} instead of an error, and the pass NEVER fails. Returns {pointers:[{id, source_type, label, targets:[]}]}. Requires no network for range/symbol/node_id/directory/git(local)/artifact(local); zotero_key needs Zotero running locally and text_quote needs live web access (else those targets are just unresolved).

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets · Admin/system-level operation ## Use case AI agents use resolve_sprint_item_pointers to create or update resources in Meridian, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Meridian environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
