refactor: comprehensive hardening — txStore, BFS directionality, AccessTracker, rate limiting, input validation, error handling

This commit addresses all issues identified in the deep codebase review:

- txStore: implement all 30+ stub methods with real transaction-backed SQL
- Engine: add sync.Mutex to serialize writes, prevent SQLite busy-lock races
- BFS: respect edge directionality (acyclic=directed, cyclic=bidirectional)
- SQLite: add _busy_timeout, MaxOpenConns(1), batch chunking at 900 vars
- AccessTracker: replace per-recall UPDATE with INSERT + batched flush
- GetEdgesBetween: eliminate N+1 edge queries in ExtractSubgraph
- 6 new DB indexes for faster filtering and traversal
- Domain errors: ErrNodeNotFound, ErrEdgeNotFound, ErrDuplicateNode, etc.
- REST/MCP: input validation for node types, edge types, depth caps, body limits
- Rate limiter: per-IP token bucket (30 burst / 10 sustained)
- escapeFTS5: prevent query injection into FTS5 MATCH
- Privacy filter: entropy detection for secret leakage
- gRPC: add GracefulStop shutdown method
- REST: add Shutdown with context
- DualStream: detached 1-minute context for slow-path survival
- SSE: panic recovery around json.Marshal
- PendingNodes: cap at 1000 nodes, add MinConfidence filter
- All silent error ignores replaced with proper handling in production code
- Comprehensive tests: graph_test (7), rest_test (8), sqlite_test (18),
  engine_test (15), integration_test (concurrent access)
