test(gfql): cover #1273 cartesian decline branches (changed-line-coverage gate)

Add an alias==node_id decline test (the one reachable defensive branch), and
pragma: no cover the genuinely-unreachable guards (post-materialize nodes present,
node_id is the bound column, non-str alias already filtered, defensive filter/collect
excepts, non-empty per_alias) with rationale — mirrors this repo's accepted approach
for structurally-uncoverable branches. 41 tests still pass, ruff clean.
