Resolve a natural-language automotive part request (et/ru/en) into one or more real public iParts catalogue categories using the store's existing multilingual synonym database and Meilisearch. The tool intentionally returns multiple plausible categories (e.g. standard / economy / high-performance brake discs, or brake disc / clutch disc for "disc") instead of silently selecting the first search result. Select one or more categories only when the user's intent makes the choice clear, otherwise ask the user. Words like front/rear/left/right are not category criteria here — keep them for the refinements of find_parts_for_vehicle. Vehicle-independent. Use the returned opaque category_ref with find_parts_for_vehicle. Not for part numbers (use search_parts). Paging: has_more/next_cursor continue the SAME candidate list (pass cursor with the same query and language); search_limited=true means the store's search window was full and paging cannot reveal more — ask for a more specific part name. status is decided on the complete candidate list, not on the page.
