-/// Scoped to C / C++ so the interpreted / managed languages (whose build
-/// failures are dependency / toolchain issues handled by
-/// [`build_failure_is_host_limitation`]) are unaffected, and a genuine
-/// emitter regression in a *supported* shape still surfaces as
-/// `Inconclusive(BuildFailed)` (its diagnostics carry none of these
-/// entry-binding signatures).
+/// Per-language signatures (the compiler / type-checker is present and the
+/// emitted source is syntactically well-formed; it simply cannot *bind* a
+/// runnable driver to the resolved entry's shape):
+/// - **C / C++**: the harness `main` collides with a fixture that defines its
+///   own `main` (`redefinition of 'main'`), or the resolved symbol's arity /
+///   signature matches no driveable shape (`too many/few arguments`,
+///   `conflicting types for`).
+/// - **Go**: the cross-package driver references a symbol that does not
+///   resolve (`undefined: entry.Run` — the resolved entry is a *method* on a
+///   struct or an unexported function, not the package-level func the default
+///   driver calls; or `undefined: strings` — the emitter's driver for this
+///   framework shape references a package it did not import).  Either way the
+///   Go emitter cannot produce a runnable driver for this entry shape.
+/// - **Java**: the resolved entry is an *instance* method the static driver
+///   invokes without a receiver (`non-static method … cannot be referenced
+///   from a static context`).
+///
+/// These are deterministic shape-incompatibilities, not retriable build
+/// failures, so they route to `Unsupported(EntryKindUnsupported)` rather than
+/// engine-`Inconclusive(BuildFailed)`.  Genuinely-absent toolchains /
+/// dependencies are handled separately by [`build_failure_is_host_limitation`];
+/// a transient build error in an otherwise-supported shape carries none of
+/// these signatures and still surfaces as `Inconclusive(BuildFailed)`.
