feat(joinir): Phase 224-B - MethodCallLowerer + CoreMethodId extension

- Extend CoreMethodId with is_pure(), allowed_in_condition(), allowed_in_init()
- New MethodCallLowerer box for metadata-driven MethodCall lowering
- Integrate MethodCall handling in condition_lowerer
- P0: Zero-argument methods (length) supported
- Design principle: NO method name hardcoding, CoreMethodId metadata only

+# Phase 224-B: MethodCallLowerer + CoreMethodId Extension
+
+**Status**: ✅ Complete
+**Date**: 2025-12-10
+**Purpose**: Metadata-driven MethodCall lowering for JoinIR loop conditions
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+Phase 224-B implements generic MethodCall lowering infrastructure for JoinIR loop conditions.
+This enables `s.length()`, `indexOf()`, etc. to be used in loop conditions with full type safety.
+
+### Key Achievement
+
+- **Metadata-Driven Design**: No method name hardcoding - all decisions based on CoreMethodId
+- **Box-First Architecture**: MethodCallLowerer as independent box answering one question
+- **Type-Safe**: Uses existing CoreMethodId infrastructure (box_id, arity, return_type)
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Implementation
+
+### 224-B-1: CoreMethodId Extension
+
+**File**: `src/runtime/core_box_ids.rs` (+114 lines)
+
+Added three new methods to `CoreMethodId`:
+
+```rust
+impl CoreMethodId {
+    /// Pure function (no side effects, deterministic)
+    pub fn is_pure(&self) -> bool { ... }
+
+    /// Allowed in loop condition expressions
+    pub fn allowed_in_condition(&self) -> bool { ... }
+
+    /// Allowed in loop body init expressions
+    pub fn allowed_in_init(&self) -> bool { ... }
+}
+```
+
+**Whitelist Design** (Conservative Fail-Fast):
+
+- **Condition**: StringLength, ArrayLength, MapHas, ResultIsOk (4 methods)
+- **Init**: More permissive - includes substring, indexOf, MapGet, etc. (13 methods)
+- **Pure but not whitelisted**: Still rejected to avoid surprises
+
+**Tests**: 3 new unit tests (16 total CoreMethodId tests, all pass)
+
+---
+
+### 224-B-2: MethodCallLowerer Box
+
+**File**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/method_call_lowerer.rs` (+362 lines, new)
+
+Single-responsibility box:
+
+```rust
+pub struct MethodCallLowerer;
+
+impl MethodCallLowerer {
+    /// Lower MethodCall for loop condition
+    pub fn lower_for_condition<F>(
+        recv_val: ValueId,
+        method_name: &str,
+        args: &[ASTNode],
+        alloc_value: &mut F,
+        instructions: &mut Vec<JoinInst>,
+    ) -> Result<ValueId, String> { ... }
+
+    /// Lower MethodCall for LoopBodyLocal init
+    pub fn lower_for_init<F>(...) -> Result<ValueId, String> { ... }
+}
+```
+
+**Phase 224-B P0 Restrictions**:
+
+- ✅ Zero-argument methods only (`s.length()`)
+- ❌ Methods with arguments (`s.substring(0, 1)`) - Phase 224-C
+
+**JoinIR BoxCall Emission**:
+
+```rust
+// Input: s.length()
+// Output:
+JoinInst::Compute(MirLikeInst::BoxCall {
+    dst: Some(ValueId(100)),
+    box_name: "StringBox",  // From CoreMethodId.box_id().name()
+    method: "length",
+    args: vec![recv_val],   // Receiver is first arg
+})
+```
+
+**Tests**: 6 unit tests covering:
+
+- ✅ Resolve string.length → CoreMethodId::StringLength
+- ✅ Lower for condition (allowed)
+- ✅ Lower for init (more permissive)
+- ✅ Not allowed in condition (Fail-Fast)
+- ✅ Unknown method (Fail-Fast)
+- ✅ P0 restriction (no arguments)
+
+---
+
+### 224-B-3: Integration with condition_lowerer
+
+**File**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/condition_lowerer.rs` (+17 lines)
+
+Added MethodCall case to `lower_value_expression`:
+
+```rust
+ASTNode::MethodCall { object, method, arguments, .. } => {
+    // 1. Lower receiver to ValueId
+    let recv_val = lower_value_expression(object, alloc_value, env, instructions)?;
+
+    // 2. Lower method call using MethodCallLowerer
+    MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_condition(recv_val, method, arguments, alloc_value, instructions)
+}
+```
+
+Previously: `Err("Unsupported expression in value context: MethodCall")`
+Now: Full MethodCall lowering with type safety!
+
+---
+
+### 224-B-4: Module Registration
+
+**File**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/mod.rs` (+1 line)
+
+```rust
+pub mod method_call_lowerer; // Phase 224-B: MethodCall lowering (metadata-driven)
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Test Results
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+cargo test --release --lib method_call_lowerer
+# test result: ok. 6 passed; 0 failed
+
+cargo test --release --lib core_box_ids::tests
+# test result: ok. 16 passed; 0 failed
+```
+
+### Build Status
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+# Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 1m 13s
+# 0 errors, 7 warnings (pre-existing)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Usage Patterns
+
+### Pattern 2: Loop with MethodCall Condition
+
+```nyash
+// Phase 224-B: s.length() in condition now supported!
+loop(i < s.length()) {
+    // MethodCall lowered to BoxCall in JoinIR
+    i = i + 1
+}
+```
+
+**Before Phase 224-B**:
+```
+[ERROR] Unsupported expression in value context: MethodCall
+```
+
+**After Phase 224-B**:
+```
+✅ MethodCall lowered to BoxCall("StringBox", "length", [s_val])
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Design Principles Demonstrated
+
+### 1. Box-First Architecture
+
+- **MethodCallLowerer**: Standalone box, no dependencies on specific patterns
+- **Single Responsibility**: "Can this MethodCall be lowered?" - that's it
+- **Composable**: Used by condition_lowerer, body_local_init, etc.
+
+### 2. Metadata-Driven
+
+**NO method name hardcoding**:
+
+```rust
+// ❌ Bad (hardcoded):
+if method_name == "length" { ... }
+
+// ✅ Good (metadata-driven):
+let method_id = CoreMethodId::iter().find(|m| m.name() == method_name)?;
+if method_id.allowed_in_condition() { ... }
+```
+
+### 3. Fail-Fast
+
+- Unknown method → Immediate error
+- Not whitelisted → Immediate error
+- Arguments in P0 → Immediate error with clear message
+

+
+| Component | Lines | Tests | Status |
+|-----------|-------|-------|--------|
+| CoreMethodId extension | +114 | 3 | ✅ |
+| MethodCallLowerer box | +362 | 6 | ✅ |
+| condition_lowerer integration | +17 | (covered) | ✅ |
+| **Total** | **+493** | **9** | ✅ |
+
+**Net Impact**: +493 lines, 9 new tests, 0 regressions
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Next Steps
+
+### Phase 224-C: MethodCall Arguments Support
+
+```nyash
+// Phase 224-C target:
+local ch = s.substring(i, i+1)  // 2-argument MethodCall
+local pos = digits.indexOf(ch)  // 1-argument MethodCall
+```
+
+**Requirements**:
+
+1. Extend MethodCallLowerer to handle arguments
+2. Lower argument AST nodes to ValueIds
+3. Pass argument ValueIds in BoxCall.args (after receiver)
+
+### Phase 224-D: Option B - Promoted Variable Tracking
+
+Fix the remaining issue in phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako:
+
+```
+[ERROR] Variable 'digit_pos' not bound in ConditionEnv
+```
+
+**Root Cause**: Promotion system promotes `digit_pos` → `is_digit_pos`,
+but condition lowerer still expects `digit_pos`.
+
+**Solution**: Track promoted variables in CarrierInfo, remap during lowering.

+
+## ✨ Key Takeaway
+
+**Phase 224-B establishes the foundation for generic MethodCall lowering in JoinIR.**
+
+- No more "Unsupported expression" errors for common methods
+- Type-safe, metadata-driven, extensible architecture
+- Ready for Phase 224-C (arguments) and Phase 224-D (variable remapping)
+
+**Everything is a Box. Everything is metadata-driven. Everything Fail-Fast.**

+//! Phase 224-B: MethodCall Lowering Box
+//!
+//! This box provides metadata-driven lowering of MethodCall AST nodes to JoinIR.
+//!
+//! ## Design Philosophy
+//!
+//! **Box-First Design**: MethodCallLowerer is a single-responsibility box that
+//! answers one question: "Can this MethodCall be lowered to JoinIR, and if so, how?"
+//!
+//! **Metadata-Driven**: Uses CoreMethodId metadata exclusively - NO method name hardcoding.
+//! All decisions based on `is_pure()`, `allowed_in_condition()`, `allowed_in_init()`.
+//!
+//! **Fail-Fast**: If a method is not whitelisted, immediately returns Err.
+//! No silent fallbacks or guessing.
+//!
+//! ## Supported Contexts
+//!
+//! - **Condition context**: Methods allowed in loop conditions (e.g., `s.length()`)
+//! - **Init context**: Methods allowed in LoopBodyLocal initialization (e.g., `s.substring(0, 1)`)
+//!
+//! ## Example Usage
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // Loop condition: loop(i < s.length())
+//! let recv_val = ValueId(0); // 's'
+//! let result = MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_condition(
+//!     recv_val,
+//!     "length",
+//!     &[],
+//!     &mut alloc_value,
+//!     &mut instructions,
+//! )?;
+//! // Result: BoxCall instruction emitted, returns result ValueId
