Value-reference edges (same-file `references` edges from a reader to the
file-scope const/var it reads) shipped behind CODEGRAPH_VALUE_REFS pending an
agent A/B. The A/B is in: on excalidraw the edges are correct and precise (node
count unchanged) and they transform the impact/blast-radius API — `impact` on a
const consumed by 103 readers goes from 1 affected symbol to the full radius.
That blast-radius API is what `codegraph impact` and CodeGraph Pro's verdict
engine consume, so the win is impact correctness; the agent path showed no
regression. Flip the default on; CODEGRAPH_VALUE_REFS=0 disables.
Also close the one precision gap the A/B surfaced: a bundled/Emscripten
`const Module` re-declared as an inner `var Module` / param produced false
positives (nested readers resolve to the inner binding). isGeneratedFile() is
path-only and can't catch content-minified bundles, so prune SHADOWED targets at
the syntax level — drop any value-ref target whose name is bound by more than one
`variable_declarator` in the file. On excalidraw this removes the 23 false
positives while preserving every real reader (impact unchanged at 170).
Adds regression coverage (there was none): same-file readers are edged, they
surface in the impact radius, shadowed consts are NOT edged, and
CODEGRAPH_VALUE_REFS=0 emits nothing.
