Resolve a phrase (or emem:entity: token) to a canonical object
emem_entity_resolveResolve a fuzzy phrase into an already-registered entity token, ensuring agents co-refer to the same identity instead of re-minting divergent ones.
Instructions
Converge a fuzzy phrasing onto the canonical object other agents already minted, so everyone co-refers to the same identity instead of re-minting divergent ones. Pass text (e.g. "the collapsed span at the ford") to get ranked existing candidates; pass near to narrow to a place; or pass an emem:entity: token to dereference it directly to the signed entity body. Read-only.
When to use: Call BEFORE minting when another agent may already have registered the object, or when you receive a emem:entity: token and want the object behind it. This is how two agents avoid referential drift: resolve first, mint only if nothing matches.
Example arguments: {"text":"the golden gate bridge","near":"San Francisco"}

| token | No | A `emem:entity:<entity_cid>` handle to dereference directly to its signed object (bypasses the text search). |
