feat(mcp): steer agents to explore-first; fix Kotlin/Swift test detection (#191)

* feat(mcp): steer agents to explore-first; fix Kotlin/Swift test detection

Two changes from diagnosing why Claude Code's Explore agent wasn't using
codegraph_explore on a benchmark run (37 calls / ~90k tokens via
search+Read+grep, vs a general-purpose agent that led with explore: 13
calls / ~55k tokens for the same question).

1. Tool guidance reframed across server-instructions.ts,
   instructions-template.ts, and .cursor/rules/codegraph.mdc (+ the
   explore/search tool descriptions): codegraph_explore is the workhorse
   for understanding/architecture/"how does X work" questions. Seed it with
   the key symbol names (a quick search/context first if the question names
   nothing concrete), read its output, and fill gaps with node/Read —
   instead of searching then Reading each file. The old "search first to
   find names, then explore" wording was short-circuiting: agents searched,
   got file:line locations, and Read them, never reaching explore.

2. isTestFile now recognizes Kotlin (*Test.kt, jvmTest/commonTest/
   androidTest source sets), Swift (*Tests.swift), and other camelCase test
   conventions, so test code is deprioritized in explore/context ranking.
   Previously only Java/JS/Python were known, letting tests dominate
   Kotlin/Swift exploration (OkHttp "trace a request" went from 8/9 test
   files to surfacing Call.kt/OkHttpClient.kt/Request.kt/Response.kt).
   Capital-led matching keeps latest.kt/manifest.kt unflagged.

An IDF common-term down-weighting was prototyped for the cold-query case
but dropped — it was a measured no-op (the "common" terms weren't actually
common in the test indexes); the test-detection gap was the real cause.

* chore(agent-eval): add agent-behavior eval harness for codegraph MCP usage

Tooling to measure how a Claude Code agent actually uses the codegraph
MCP tools on a real repo — does it lead with codegraph_explore, how many
Read/Grep follow-ups, token cost — for validating tool-guidance changes
(server-instructions, tool descriptions) against real agent behavior.

- itrun.sh drives the real interactive TUI via tmux (the faithful
  Explore path). Hardened for unattended runs: type-and-verify prompt
  delivery (the ❯ glyph is drawn ~6s before the input accepts keys),
  auto-accepts the "trust this folder" dialog, busy-detection keys on
  the universal "(Ns · …)" spinner so the pre-stream thinking phase
  counts as busy, and fails loudly instead of capturing an empty pane.
- parse-session.mjs reports the tool breakdown + token accounting
  (gen / fresh-in / cached-in / billable) from the session and subagent
  logs, consistent across main-thread and subagent runs; counts
  main-thread Bash in the grep verdict.
- run-agent.sh / parse-run.mjs are the headless stream-json complement
  (exact per-tool tokens/cost via claude -p).
- run-interactive-test.md documents how to run it and how completion is
  detected.

# Drive an INTERACTIVE Claude Code session in tmux, send a prompt, wait for the
# agent to finish, then print the tool-call breakdown from the session logs.
#
# Why interactive (not `claude -p`): headless print-mode picks the
# general-purpose subagent, while real interactive sessions delegate to the
# Explore subagent (or drive codegraph from the main thread). Only the
# interactive TUI reproduces the behavior users actually see. (Idle-detection
# technique borrowed from devpit's WaitForIdle.)
#
# Usage: itrun.sh <repo-path> <label> "<prompt>"
# Output dir: $AGENT_EVAL_OUT (default /tmp/agent-eval)
# Requires: tmux 3.0+, a logged-in `claude` CLI, codegraph MCP configured.
