+current same-basename upstream Ruby fixtures without claiming general Ruby

-The scanner now covers the current Kotlin fixture slice:
-
-- `kotlin` language inference for `.kt` targets.
-- named ellipsis matching for the current `kotlin_named_ellipsis` shape, where
-  `$...X` covers the preceding `val a = "foo"` line and the finding spans both
-  `val` lines.
-- direct response writer matching for `PrintWriter` receivers declared with
-  Kotlin `val pWriter: PrintWriter = ...`, excluding quoted literal
-  `println(...)` calls and `SafeWriter` receivers.
-- the Ktor XSS taint fixture's focused `bytes="hi! ${resp}"` argument under
-  `call.respondBytes(...)`, including `$RESPFUNC` message interpolation and the
-  packaged-Semgrep paragraph-newline shape for the large YAML `>` message.
-- object-field command taint for `r.exec(command)` and `r.exec(command1)` when
-  the variables came from `getUnsafeCommand()`, while `getSafeCommand()`
-  remains filtered.
-
-The implementation routes Kotlin through the existing generic text matcher for
-plain cases and adds targeted Kotlin fallbacks where Semgrep's parser ranges,
-message bindings, or type behavior are too language-specific for the generic
-matcher.
+The scanner now covers the current Ruby fixture slice:
+
+- `ruby` language inference for `.rb` targets.
+- `metavar_ellipsis_args_empty`, including the Semgrep behavior where
+  `foo($X, $...ARGS)` matches both a non-empty trailing argument list and an
+  empty list. The first finding renders `$...ARGS` as
+  `"efgh", frobnicate: true`; the empty-tail case leaves `$...ARGS` unresolved.
+- `taint_ruby_concat`, including the packaged-Semgrep quirk where every sink
+  range appears twice with distinct messages. One message keeps `$1` literal;
+  the second substitutes `$1` with `requ` for `con.exec query` ranges and with
+  `require 'pg` for inline `con.exec_params(...)` expression ranges.
+- `taint_ruby_if_expr`, where the sink focus is only the `something` variable
+  inside `something.to_sym`, not the whole method call.
+- `taint_ruby_hash_elem_ref`, which remains a zero-finding parity fixture even
+  though it contains a tainted `params[:sort_by]` assignment before an
+  unrelated interpolated string.
