fix(resolution): resolve Python aliased module imports (#1626) (#1785)

* fix(resolution): resolve Python module members through an aliased from-import (#1626)

resolvePythonModuleMember rebuilt the submodule's dotted path by joining the
import source with the LOCAL name. Under 'from pkg import mod as alias' that
produces 'pkg.alias' — a module that does not exist — so the file lookup found
nothing and the call fell through to unresolved_refs with status='failed'.
codegraph_callers then reported the target as having fewer callers than it
does, which is the same wrong 'is this dead code?' answer #578 produced for
the unaliased form.

Join with the exported name instead. For an unaliased import the two names are
identical, so nothing changes there; '*' (the namespace form) keeps using the
local name, which is what it already bound to.

Scope note: the issue also reports 'import top as alias' failing. That form is
a namespace import and binds at source, so it resolves on current main — a
probe against the reverted resolver confirms it already produces its call edge.
The regression test pins both halves so the working one cannot silently break.

* fix(resolution): restore aliased Python module import edges (#1626)

Use the exported module name in the file-import resolver, matching the member resolver from upstream PR #1635. Keep both aliased call assertions and verify the file-to-file imports edge in the #1626 regression test. Update the Unreleased note to cover file dependencies.

Validation on Node 22.19.0: npm run build; supplied cg1626 repro; vitest run __tests__/resolution.test.ts -t 1626. Pass evidence saved in /workspace/cg1626-PASS.json and /workspace/cg1626-VERIFY.json.

- Fixed a long-running `codegraph ui` session serving a symbol that a sync had already deleted. The viewer keeps one connection to your index open, and its in-memory lookup didn't notice when another process — your agent's sync, or `codegraph sync` — rewrote the file underneath it, so a symbol screen could keep showing a body with no callers while search correctly reported it had moved. Because a symbol's identity includes the line it starts on, this happened after almost any edit above it.
- Python calls and file dependencies through `from package import module as alias` now appear in the graph, so renamed imports no longer hide live callers or imported modules. Thanks @JoeyNPP. (#1626)
