fix(mcp): clarify that CodeGraph analyzes user's project, not itself
Updated initial_instructions.md to eliminate confusion about what CodeGraph analyzes. Previously, wording could be misinterpreted as "get information about CodeGraph" rather than "use CodeGraph to analyze your project." Changes: - Header (line 3): Added "CodeGraph analyzes the USER'S PROJECT in the current working directory" - Rule #1 (line 9): Changed "codebase exploration" to "analyze the user's project codebase" - Rule #2 (line 11): Changed "explore a codebase" to "explore the user's project" - Introduction (line 7): Added emphasis "analyze the user's working project codebase" and "code in the current working directory" - Decision tree (line 41): Changed "find code?" to "find code in the user's project?" - Decision tree (line 45): Changed "Use CodeGraph tool" to "Use CodeGraph to analyze the project" Impact: - Eliminates client confusion about CodeGraph's purpose - Makes it crystal clear CodeGraph analyzes YOUR code, not itself - Improves UX for MCP clients receiving automatic instructions - No functional changes, only clarity improvements Verified: - Build successful - Initialize response contains clarified text
