Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: filter method call noise from call graph
Method calls like obj.method(), response.json(), data.get() were recorded
as bare CALLS targets ("method", "json", "get"), creating false callers
via name collisions and polluting the graph with unresolvable noise.
Now only self/cls/this/super method calls emit CALLS edges -- these
resolve within the class. External method calls are dropped since they
are unresolvable without type inference.
Impact on this repo (Python): 58% fewer CALLS edges total, but only 6%
fewer resolved edges -- almost all useful relationships preserved.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix: test-file exemption, JSX parsing, builtin filtering,
communities fallback
- Exempt test files from method call filtering so TESTED_BY edges are
preserved (test code calls production via object.method())
- Add jsx_self_closing_element and jsx_opening_element to _CALL_TYPES
for tsx/javascript -- now produces CALLS edges
- Add _BUILTIN_NAMES per-language filter to skip len/print/str/etc.
- Add Leiden-to-file-based fallback in communities.py when all Leiden
clusters are smaller than min_size (fixes 0 communities regression)
- Update test paths to use /src/ for production code tests (not /test/)
