fix(mcp+resolution): stop conflating same-named symbols across monorepo apps (#764) (#813)

A NestJS-style monorepo has one UserService/UserModule/UserRepository per
app; with no package concept for TS they share one global name scope and
agents visibly warned that CodeGraph was mixing unrelated classes.

Two distinct problems, two fixes:

1. TOOL AGGREGATION. callers/callees returned one merged list across every
   same-named match, and impact merged all their blast radii into a single
   overstated subgraph. Now: matches group into DISTINCT DEFINITIONS
   (filePath + qualifiedName — same-file overloads still merge, that's the
   overload feature) and render one file-labeled section per definition;
   a new `file` argument (path or suffix, like codegraph_node's) narrows
   to one definition, suppressing the stale aggregation note; a
   non-matching `file` falls back to all definitions with a note.
   server-instructions documents the behavior.

2. RESOLUTION WRONG EDGES. Auditing a real monorepo (amplication, 54k
   nodes) found 1,036 cross-package `references` edges into duplicated
   names. Root cause: the React framework resolver ran PascalCase
   component resolution on refs from PLAIN .ts FILES (a GraphQL types
   file's own `Account` type alias lost to an arbitrary same-named CLASS
   in another package — the resolver's blind `components[0]` fallback at
   confidence 0.8 outranked the name-matcher's proximity-correct 0.7).
   Component resolution is now gated to JSX-capable refs (tsx/jsx) and
   never guesses among multiple candidates without a positional signal
   (same-dir / component-dir / unique). Cross-package wrong edges:
   1,036 -> 40 (-96%; the remainder are genuine shared-model imports and
   codegen template scaffolds), with the freed refs re-resolving to the
   correct same-file/same-package targets. excalidraw (a real React repo)
   is a zero-delta control — legitimate component refs all carry
   same-dir/component-dir signals.

Graph-level separation was verified correct on a fixture before any
changes (import + proximity resolution keeps apps apart) — the conflation
was tool-level plus the react-resolver edge class.

Tests: 6-test e2e suite (grouped callers/callees, per-definition impact
radii, file narrowing, fallback note, cross-app edge isolation) + react
resolver unit tests updated to production reality (tsx refs resolve,
plain-ts refs decline). Full suite 1398 passed. EXTRACTION_VERSION
23 -> 24 (re-index to drop the wrong cross-package edges).

Closes #764

### New Features
- Same-named symbols across a monorepo's apps are no longer conflated. In a NestJS-style workspace with one `UserService` per app, `codegraph_callers`, `codegraph_callees`, and `codegraph_impact` now report **one section per distinct definition** — each app's callers and blast radius under its own file-labeled heading — instead of a single merged list, and accept a `file` argument to focus exactly the definition you mean (like `codegraph_node` already did). Impact in particular no longer overstates a change's blast radius by merging unrelated same-named classes. Thanks @Igorgro. (#764)
- Fixed a related source of cross-package wrong edges: PascalCase **type references from plain `.ts` files were being resolved as React components**, which could link a file's own type alias to an arbitrary same-named class in another package (on one large monorepo this produced over a thousand wrong cross-package reference edges; 96% are now gone, and the remainder are genuine shared-model imports). Component resolution now applies only to references from JSX-capable files and never guesses between multiple candidates without a positional signal. Re-index a project to benefit. (#764) (TypeScript, React)
- TypeScript and JavaScript **class fields are now reported as properties instead of methods**. A plain field like `public fonts: Fonts;` previously extracted as a method, misrepresenting class shape and letting calls to same-named functions resolve to data fields (a boolean field named `isArray` was soaking up `Array.isArray(...)` call edges). Fields holding arrow functions or function expressions (`onClick = () => {…}`, including wrapped ones like `onScroll = throttle(() => {…})`) correctly remain methods and their bodies are still analyzed. Field initializers are analyzed too, so `history = createHistory()` records its call — and JavaScript class fields, which previously produced no symbol at all, now appear in the graph. Re-index a project to benefit. (#808) (TypeScript, JavaScript)
- Callback registration through `this` now resolves precisely in TypeScript and JavaScript: `window.addEventListener("online", this.onOfflineStatusToggle)` or an API object like `{ mutateElement: this.mutateElement }` produces a reference edge to the **enclosing class's own method** — never a same-named method on an unrelated class, and never a data field. Builds on the callback-registration support below. (#808) (TypeScript, JavaScript)
- Callback-registration coverage deepened across four more shapes: a `this.<member>` registration whose method lives on a **base class** now resolves through the inheritance chain (`bus.on("submit", this.handleSubmit)` in a subclass links to the parent's `handleSubmit`); Java and Kotlin **method references to other classes** (`Handlers::onMessage`, `OtherClass::handle`) resolve across files, with `this::` and `super::` scoped to the defining class and references through a variable deliberately left out; and Swift bare callback names now match only the **enclosing type's** methods (implicit `self`), eliminating a class of wrong edges where a parameter like `request` linked to a same-named method on an unrelated type.
