* feat(mcp): steer agents to codegraph during implementation, not just Q&A
Two changes targeting agents that reach for Read during edits instead of codegraph:
1. Reframe the agent-facing steering (server-instructions + codegraph_node/explore
descriptions): drop "consult BEFORE ... not during"; position codegraph_node as
the Read upgrade for a named symbol (verbatim current on-disk source, safe to
Edit from, + caller/callee trail), explore PRIMARY / node SECONDARY, with the
"cached intelligence — better context, fewer tokens" framing.
2. File-view mode: codegraph_node now accepts a `file` with no `symbol` and returns
that file's symbol map + graph role (its dependents), plus verbatim bodies with
includeCode — so it can displace a path-keyed Read, not just a symbol lookup.
Resolves a path or basename; dedups nested members; budget-capped.
To be A/B'd on an implementation task before shipping (per the retrieval doctrine:
steering changes must be measured, not assumed).
