fix(resolution): yield per ref and cache hot per-ref work so the watchdog can't kill a valid index (#1122) (#1137)

The #850 liveness watchdog was killing valid `codegraph init`/`index` runs
at "Resolving refs 0-2%" on large collision-heavy repos (18-25K-file Java
monorepos on slower hardware). #1105's cooperative yielding assumed a
500-ref sub-chunk is always cheap, but per-ref cost is unbounded: a
colliding method name (`execute`, `process`, ...) whose candidate set
misses the 5,000-entry name LRU re-fetches every same-named row
(unbounded SELECT + materialization, measured 8.8ms at just 4K collisions
on an M4 — linear in collision count), and receiver-type inference
re-split the whole source file per ref (~20% of total index CPU). A dense
pocket multiplied that past the 60s window and the heartbeat starved.

Three guards, no behavior change:
- resolveBatchYielding checkpoints after EVERY ref (maybeYield is a ~ns
  time check when under budget), so a slow pocket can never run more than
  one ref past the yield budget.
- resolveMethodOnType's ref-independent candidate filter is memoized per
  (language, Type::method) on the resolver context; per-ref
  disambiguation (import FQN #314, call-site file #1079) stays outside
  the memo.
- Receiver inference reads lines through a per-file LRU (shared and C++
  inferrers), and skips generated/minified lines >10K chars instead of
  regex-scanning them per ref.

Measured on a 4,028-file synthetic Java bank repo (392K refs): mid-loop
max event-loop stall 1528ms -> 546ms under cache thrash, total init
250.9s -> 96.8s at default config.

 ### Fixes
 
+- `codegraph init` and `codegraph index` no longer get killed by the safety watchdog at the "Resolving refs" step on large method-name-heavy codebases (big Java/enterprise monorepos were the main victims, especially on slower machines). Resolution used to come up for air only every 500 references, so a dense stretch of expensive ones could starve the watchdog long enough for it to assume the process was stuck and kill a perfectly healthy index. Resolution now checkpoints after every reference, and two of the expensive steps got much cheaper: repeated method lookups on the same type are now cached, and source files are no longer re-split line-by-line for every call being resolved — indexing such repos is several times faster as a result. Generated or minified single-line files are also skipped during receiver-type inference instead of being scanned per call. Thanks @UchihaYong and @wangmeng-95 for the reports. (#1122)
 - The automatic context hook for Claude Code now fires for structural questions asked in nearly thirty languages — French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, and both simplified and traditional Chinese — instead of just English and simplified Chinese. Previously a natural question like "comment marche la state machine des commandes ?" injected nothing unless it happened to contain a code-shaped symbol name, making the hook look broken for non-English teams. English questions phrased with derived word forms ("explain the architecture…", "what are the dependencies…") now fire too, and prompts in any other language still fire when they name a symbol from the index. Thanks @anthonyle-roy-lgtm for the report. (#1126)
 - Lua and Luau method calls with capitalized names (`obj:Method()` — the standard Roblox convention) now link to the right method. Because Lua's method-call syntax looks identical to a Luau type annotation, a capitalized call like `lg:Log()` was misread as declaring the variable's type, so whenever two or more classes shared a method name (`Init`, `Update`, `Destroy`, …) the call was silently dropped from callers, impact/blast-radius, and flow traces. Lowercase method names were unaffected. Thanks @inth3shadows for the precise root-cause analysis and repro. (#1124)
 - Removed dead code left behind by the discontinued managed-reasoning feature. Its `codegraph login` flow was unplugged before ever shipping in a release, but the unused module still shipped inside the platform bundles, and a security review flagged its Windows browser-open step (it routed the login URL through `cmd`, which would have been unsafe had the flow ever been wired back up). The leftover module and its tests are now fully deleted. Thanks @inth3shadows for the report. (#1114)
