feat(mcp): add trace tool for shortest call path between symbols (#2173)
* feat(mcp): add trace tool for shortest call path between symbols (#1821)

Implement the \	race\ MCP tool and \gitnexus trace\ CLI command that finds
the shortest directed call path between two symbols using BFS over CALLS +
HAS_METHOD edges.

- MCP tool definition in tools.ts with READ_ONLY annotations
- Directed BFS in local-backend.ts with parent-map path reconstruction
- Symbol resolution via resolveSymbolCandidates (name/UID/file-hint)
- Gap reporting with furthest reachable node and depth tracking
- CLI wiring: gitnexus trace <from> <to> [--from-uid] [--to-uid] [--depth]
- i18n keys in en.ts and zh-CN.ts + help-i18n.ts registration
- ARCHITECTURE.md tools table entry
- 16 unit tests (11 BFS core + 5 CLI wiring)

* test(mcp): account for trace tool in tools.test.ts count

The trace tool makes GITNEXUS_TOOLS length 15; update the hardcoded
count, add 'trace' to the expected-names list, and refresh the stale
"13 tools" comment and it() title.

* fix(mcp): sanitize trace maxDepth to reject 0/NaN/negative

`Math.min(params.maxDepth ?? 10, 30)` had no lower bound and `??` does
not recover 0 or NaN, so `--depth 0|-5|abc` made the BFS loop run zero
iterations and return a false `no_path`. Clamp at the real boundary with
a `Number.isInteger && > 0` guard (the MCP inputSchema minimum is
advisory only), and reject a non-numeric `--depth` in the CLI up front
rather than forwarding NaN.

* fix(mcp): check trace target before applying test-file filter

The `isTestFilePath` filter ran before the target-equality check, but
resolveSymbolCandidates does not exclude test-file symbols. A target (or
a required hop) that lives in a test file was therefore skipped under the
default includeTests=false and produced a false no_path with a
misleading dynamic-dispatch suggestion. Match the explicitly-requested
target first; non-target test-file nodes are still filtered.

* perf(mcp): bound trace BFS with per-level LIMIT and visited cap

The per-level query had no LIMIT and the visited set was uncapped, so a
high-fanout hub could materialize an unbounded frontier. Cap per-level
rows (interpolated LIMIT — Kuzu does not bind LIMIT) and the total
visited set; either cap sets a `truncated` flag so a resulting no_path
reports that the search was cut short rather than implying the graph was
exhausted.

Note: the sibling impact BFS shares the same unbounded pattern; applying
the cap there is deferred (out of scope for this PR).

* refactor(mcp): clarify trace traverses call + class-member edges

trace was advertised as a "shortest call path" but also traverses
HAS_METHOD (class→member) containment edges so a class-rooted trace can
descend into its methods. Keep that capability (consistent with impact/
context) and make the docs honest: rename EDGE_TYPES→TRAVERSAL_EDGE_TYPES,
state the call + class-member traversal in the MCP/CLI/i18n/ARCHITECTURE
descriptions, and note each hop's edge type is reported in edges[]. No
behavior change.

* fix(mcp): set status:'error' on trace failure responses

Every trace return path sets a `status` discriminator except the
caught-error path, so a consumer switching on `result.status` saw
undefined on failure. Add status:'error' to both the backend trace()
catch and the CLI traceCommand catch.

* fix(mcp): return a friendly error for non-string trace from/to

A non-string from/to reaching resolveSymbolCandidates surfaced a
low-level "x.includes is not a function" via name.includes. Guard the
four name/uid params at the top of _traceImpl and return a structured
status:'error' with a clear message instead.

* refactor(mcp): single row-decode + drop dead field in trace BFS

Decode each BFS row once into named locals instead of repeating
`(row.x ?? row[N])` across the two parent.set calls and the
furthest-tracking. Drop the `type` field from the parent map value (it
was written but never read), and rename the internal `deepestInfo` to
`lastReached` for accuracy (the output field `furthest` is unchanged).
Pure refactor — no behavior change.

* refactor(cli): dedicated trace includeTests i18n key + guard coverage

`trace|--include-tests` reused the impact help key, so rewording the
impact option would silently change trace's help text. Add a dedicated
help.option.trace.includeTests key in en + zh-CN and repoint it. Add CLI
coverage for the (already symmetric) --from-uid/--to-uid flag-value guard
and for --include-tests forwarding.

* test(mcp): faithful BFS mock + expand trace coverage

Fix makeResolveMock: concatenate neighbors across ALL frontier ids (it
returned only the first node's, so a multi-node frontier was unmodelled)
and key the UID branch on params.uid (the old query-text match never
fired). Add coverage: shortest path through the second frontier node
(proves the mock fix), confidence floor fallback, HAS_METHOD traversal
with a mixed edge-type chain, no_path furthest:null, and from_file
disambiguation.

* style(trace): apply root prettier formatting to trace files

The root `quality / format` gate (prettier --check, printWidth 100) runs
on the full repo and flagged the trace sources/tests (the local config
masks it). Reformat to root style — no behavior change; trace + tools
suites and tsc stay green.

* docs(skills): document the trace tool for AI agents

Add `trace` to the GitNexus skill docs so agents reach for it instead of
hand-chaining context/impact hops. The guide gains a Tools Reference row
and a "shortest path between two symbols" subsection (params, result
shape, status/furthest/truncated semantics); the debugging skill gains a
"how does A reach B?" pattern row and a trace tool example. Mirrored to
the .claude and claude-plugin copies (byte-identical) and the cursor copy
(compact style).

* test(mcp): drop unused trace test fixtures (CodeQL js/unused-local-variable)

CodeQL flagged two unused locals in the trace BFS tests: the top-level
SYMBOL_C and a SYMBOL_D inside the maxDepth test (both defined, never
referenced). Remove them. No behavior change — 58 trace/tools tests stay
green.
