What does this PR do?
This PR adds machine-readable freshness and provenance evidence to MCP responses, helping clients determine whether results come from a current index, a stale or partial index, direct source resolution, or heuristic inference.
Changes include:
index_statuswith additive evidence about indexed/current revisions, working tree state, freshness, coverage, and known limitations.edge_evidencefromtrace_pathandtrace_call_pathwhen relationship provenance is available.Why is this needed?
Consumers of the MCP need factual and inspectable signals to decide whether a result can be trusted as-is, whether the repository should be re-indexed, or whether the result should be verified directly against source code.
Rather than exposing an opaque reliability score, this change provides the underlying evidence needed for clients to make that decision.
