	 *
	 * The Jetpack autoloader reads its classmap into an in-memory snapshot once
	 * per request and never refreshes it. During a WordPress in-place upgrade the
	 * plugin files are swapped mid-request, so a class that is new in the upgraded
	 * version cannot be found in the snapshot and the request fatals. This loader,
	 * registered as an appended (lowest-priority) fallback, resolves such classes
	 * from disk via PSR-4.
	 *
	 * Scoped to the first-party `Automattic\WooCommerce\` (src/) namespace only —
	 * the family that actually fatals during an in-place upgrade (e.g.
	 * `Enums\DefaultCustomerAddress`). Every other prefix in the Composer map is
	 * deliberately excluded: bundled third-party packages
	 * (`Automattic\WooCommerce\Vendor\` → lib/packages) so the fallback can never
	 * load WooCommerce's bundled copy over the version the Jetpack autoloader
	 * coordinates across plugins, and the non-runtime prefixes (Blueprint, tests,
	 * build tooling) which never fatal during a front-end upgrade request.
	 *
	 * Returns the configured (but NOT registered) loader so the caller controls
	 * registration and tests can exercise it without touching the global SPL stack.
	 *
	 * @internal Public only so {@see self::register_woocommerce_psr4_fallback()} and
	 *           the unit tests can build the loader in isolation.
	 *
	 * @since 11.0.0
	 *
	 * @return ClassLoader|null The loader, or null if the Composer files are
	 *                          unavailable or a foreign ClassLoader shape is present.

	 * Register the WooCommerce-scoped PSR-4 fallback as an appended (lowest-priority)
	 * SPL autoloader, so it is consulted only after every other autoloader — including
	 * the primary Jetpack autoloader — has missed.
	 *
	 * The handler resolves each miss with a throwaway loader (see {@see self::find_scoped_file()})
	 * rather than a single long-lived `ClassLoader`. Composer's `ClassLoader` records a
	 * per-instance negative cache (`missingClasses`) on a PSR-4 miss and short-circuits
	 * subsequent lookups for that class; a shared instance would therefore cache a miss for a
	 * class probed *before* an in-place upgrade swaps the files, then keep refusing that same
	 * class *after* the new file is on disk — for the remainder of the request. A fresh loader
	 * per miss keeps every resolution honest while still reusing Composer's PSR-4 resolution.
	 *
	 * Registration is idempotent: at most one handler is ever added per request.
	 *
	 * Degrades to null (nothing registered) if the Composer files are unavailable or a
	 * foreign/malformed `ClassLoader` shape is present. The handler likewise leaves a class
	 * unresolved — rather than fataling — if a resolved file is torn/unparseable mid-upgrade,
	 * so a defensive `class_exists()` probe during an upgrade gets `false` instead of an error.
	 * The failed attempt stays retryable: the handler records only the files it has executed
	 * cleanly, so once the upgrade finishes writing a file that previously failed to parse,
	 * link, or run, a later probe in the same request re-attempts and loads it. It never
	 * re-executes a path it already loaded (an uncatchable "Cannot redeclare class" fatal);
	 * it cannot, however, guard the first execution of a file that declares a class already
	 * loaded elsewhere under a non-matching PSR-4 path.
