Summary

  • Split src/db.js into src/db/ module directory (connection.js, migrations.js) with db.js kept as a barrel re-export — zero import churn across 55 existing import sites
  • Add NodeQuery fluent builder and standalone helpers (testFilterSQL, kindInClause, fanInJoinSQL, fanOutJoinSQL) in src/db/query-builder.js to eliminate duplicated WHERE clause and JOIN patterns
  • Add centralized repository functions (findNodesForTriage, listFunctionNodes, iterateFunctionNodes, findNodesWithFanIn, countNodes/Edges/Files) in src/db/repository.js
  • Migrate 7 call sites across triage.js, queries.js (4 functions), and structure.js — net reduction of ~100 lines of duplicated SQL patterns

Test plan

  • 45 new unit tests for query builder composition and repository functions
  • All 234 affected existing tests pass unchanged (triage, queries, structure, audit, pagination)
  • Lint clean (only pre-existing rolesData warning in queries.test.js)
  • Verify CLI output unchanged: codegraph triage -T, codegraph list -T, codegraph map, codegraph stats -T

Move connection/locking logic to src/db/connection.js and schema
migrations to src/db/migrations.js. src/db.js becomes a barrel
re-export file so all 55 existing import sites continue to work
unchanged.

Impact: 10 functions changed, 102 affected
Introduce NodeQuery fluent builder and standalone helpers
(testFilterSQL, kindInClause, fanInJoinSQL, fanOutJoinSQL) to
eliminate duplicated WHERE clause and JOIN patterns across modules.

Add repository.js with centralized read methods (findNodesForTriage,
listFunctionNodes, iterateFunctionNodes, findNodesWithFanIn, count*).

Includes 45 new unit tests covering builder composition and repository
functions.

Impact: 31 functions changed, 33 affected
Replace inline SQL clause building with query-builder helpers and
repository functions in 7 call sites across 3 files:
- triage.js: triageData() uses findNodesForTriage()
- queries.js: findMatchingNodes() uses findNodesWithFanIn(),
  listFunctionsData() uses listFunctionNodes(),
  iterListFunctions() uses iterateFunctionNodes(),
  moduleMapData() and statsData() use testFilterSQL()
- structure.js: hotspotsData() uses testFilterSQL()

Net reduction of ~100 lines of duplicated WHERE/JOIN patterns.

Impact: 6 functions changed, 25 affected

Review Complete

Phase 1: Root Cause Analysis ✅

Problem Being Solved: Code duplication in SQL query patterns across multiple files - specifically WHERE clause conditions (test file exclusions, kind filtering) and JOIN patterns (fan-in/fan-out edge counts). The monolithic src/db.js (400+ lines) was becoming unwieldy with mixed concerns (connection management, schema, queries).

Why This Approach: This is a legitimate refactoring that addresses real technical debt:

  • Eliminates ~100 lines of duplicated SQL patterns across 7 call sites
  • Separates concerns: connection management, migrations, query building, repository functions
  • Maintains zero import churn via barrel re-export pattern
  • Introduces type-safe query building to reduce SQL injection risks

Risk Assessment: Low risk - this is genuine refactoring, not symptom hiding.

Phase 2: Configuration Change Detection ✅

No problematic configuration changes detected:

  • No biome.json, ESLint, or TypeScript config modifications
  • No test timeouts increased or coverage thresholds lowered
  • No linting rules disabled or relaxed

Phase 3: Test Integrity ✅

New tests are comprehensive and well-structured:

  • 45 new unit tests for query builder and repository functions
  • Tests use proper setup/teardown with in-memory SQLite
  • Assertions are strict and specific (no conditional or weakened assertions)
  • No existing test files modified - new functionality gets new test files
  • Test structure follows established patterns

Phase 4: Code Quality Review ✅

Strengths:

  • Clean separation of concerns: Connection handling, migrations, query building, and repository patterns properly isolated
  • Proper parameterized queries: The fluent builder uses ? placeholders and params arrays correctly (e.g., fileFilter, nameLike, kindFilter)
  • Comprehensive test coverage: Both unit tests and integration coverage for all new functions
  • Backward compatibility: Barrel export preserves all existing import paths

Critical Issues ⚠️:

  • SQL Injection vulnerability in fanInJoinSQL and fanOutJoinSQL (lines 37, 48 in /home/runner/work/codegraph/codegraph/src/db/query-builder.js:37): These functions use template string interpolation for edgeKind parameter:
    WHERE kind = '${edgeKind}'  // VULNERABLE
    While the default is hardcoded 'calls' and usage appears controlled internally, this violates the security principle. These should use parameterized queries or at minimum input validation.

Security Context: I examined the codebase extensively - edgeKind appears to be constrained to known values from EVERY_EDGE_KIND constant (calls, imports, imports-type, etc.). However, the functions are exported and could be called with arbitrary strings.

Other Observations:

  • Repository functions properly delegate to the query builder
  • Migration handling looks correct with version tracking
  • Connection pooling and locking mechanisms are appropriately carried over

Root Cause Analysis

Problem Being Solved: Legitimate code duplication elimination in SQL patterns - this solves a real maintainability issue, not hiding symptoms.
Why This Approach: Clean architecture separation with backward compatibility via barrel exports.
Risk Assessment: Medium risk due to SQL injection vulnerability, otherwise low risk.

Critical Concerns

SQL Injection Risk: fanInJoinSQL/fanOutJoinSQL use template literals instead of parameterized queries for the edgeKind parameter. While current usage appears controlled, this creates a security vulnerability.

Final Recommendation

  • Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)
  • Action: REQUEST CHANGES
  • Reasoning: This is solid refactoring work that addresses legitimate technical debt and follows good architectural patterns. However, the SQL injection vulnerability in the query helper functions must be addressed before merging. Either add input validation against EVERY_EDGE_KIND or refactor to use parameterized queries.

Required Fix: Sanitize edgeKind parameter in fanInJoinSQL/fanOutJoinSQL by validating against the EVERY_EDGE_KIND constant from queries.js.

Greptile Summary

This PR successfully refactors the monolithic src/db.js into a proper src/db/ module directory with a fluent NodeQuery builder and centralized repository functions, reducing ~100 lines of duplicated SQL patterns across 7 call sites.

Key accomplishments:

  • src/db.js remains a zero-churn barrel re-export; all 55 existing imports continue to work
  • src/db/query-builder.js introduces NodeQuery with validated select(), orderBy(), and standalone helpers — all previously flagged injection paths have been hardened with input validation
  • src/db/repository.js centralizes triage, listing, and count queries; opts.kind and opts.role are both validated with clear error messages
  • _functionNodeQuery private helper eliminates duplication between listFunctionNodes and iterateFunctionNodes, with noTests filtering pushed to the SQL layer
  • New src/kinds.js breaks the circular dependency cleanly: db/ modules → kinds.jsqueries.js
  • 45 new unit tests with comprehensive coverage of injection rejection, parameterized queries, and edge cases
  • All 234 existing tests pass unchanged

The refactoring is well-structured with thoughtful API hardening. Internal code uses safe parameterized queries, and the .where() method intentionally remains as an unvalidated escape hatch for complex queries that don't fit the fluent API — all practical usage is already safe via the ...params signature.

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • Safe to merge. All critical injection paths have been hardened with input validation, circular dependencies resolved, and the refactoring is well-tested.
  • The PR successfully refactors monolithic code into a well-structured module with a fluent builder pattern. All security concerns (SQL injection in fanIn/fanOut joins, select/orderBy methods, and standalone helpers) have been addressed with robust input validation. Input options are validated against allowlists with clear error messages. The circular dependency issue has been cleanly resolved. All 45 new tests pass and all 234 existing tests remain unbroken. The codebase is net negative in duplicated SQL patterns and the refactoring maintains backward compatibility across all 55 existing import sites.
  • No files require special attention

SQL injection via string-interpolated edgeKind and alias

Both edgeKind and alias are interpolated directly into the returned SQL fragment without sanitization or parameterization. edgeKind is quoted with single quotes so typical injection requires escaping the quote, but alias is injected bare (no quoting), meaning a value like fi ON fi.target_id = n.id; DROP TABLE nodes; -- would produce valid — and destructive — SQL.

These helpers are re-exported from src/db.js and src/index.js as part of the public programmatic API, so external callers can pass user-supplied strings.

export function fanInJoinSQL(edgeKind = 'calls', alias = 'fi') {
  return `LEFT JOIN (
    SELECT target_id, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM edges WHERE kind = '${edgeKind}' GROUP BY target_id
  ) ${alias} ON ${alias}.target_id = n.id`;
}

Consider restricting inputs to an allowlist of known edge kinds (e.g., validate against CORE_EDGE_KINDS) and a safe alias pattern (e.g., /^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$/), or documenting clearly that callers must never pass user-controlled values:

const VALID_ALIAS = /^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*$/i;
export function fanInJoinSQL(edgeKind = 'calls', alias = 'fi') {
  if (!VALID_ALIAS.test(alias)) throw new Error(`Invalid alias: ${alias}`);
  // edgeKind validated against CORE_EDGE_KINDS or similarly
  ...
}

The same concern applies to fanOutJoinSQL.

Fixed: added validateAlias() (regex /^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*$/i) and validateEdgeKind() (checks against EVERY_EDGE_KIND) to both fanInJoinSQL and fanOutJoinSQL. They now throw on invalid input before any SQL interpolation.

Redundant double-kind filter silently returns zero rows for non-triage kinds

findNodesForTriage unconditionally adds .kinds(['function', 'method', 'class']) and then conditionally adds .kindFilter(opts.kind). If a caller passes opts.kind = 'interface' (a valid node kind), the generated WHERE clause becomes:

WHERE n.kind IN ('function', 'method', 'class') AND n.kind = 'interface'

This will always return zero rows — silently, with no error — even though interface nodes exist in the DB. Since triage.js surfaces this to end-users via codegraph triage --kind interface, the empty result will appear identical to "no data" rather than "unsupported kind for triage".

Consider either (a) removing .kindFilter(opts.kind) and relying only on .kinds(['function', 'method', 'class']) (triage is intentionally limited to these kinds), or (b) replacing the hardcoded .kinds() call with the user-supplied kind when opts.kind is provided, and documenting the constraint.

Fixed: when \ is provided and valid (checked against ), it now replaces the hardcoded \ array rather than being applied as a conflicting second filter. Invalid kinds throw an error with a clear message.

listFunctionNodes and iterateFunctionNodes share identical query-builder setup

The two functions are identical except for the terminal call (.all(db) vs .iterate(db)). This is a copy-paste duplication that will silently diverge if one is updated but not the other (e.g., adding a new filter option).

Consider extracting the shared builder into a private helper:

function _functionNodeQuery(opts = {}) {
  return new NodeQuery()
    .select('name, kind, file, line, end_line, role')
    .kinds(['function', 'method', 'class'])
    .fileFilter(opts.file)
    .nameLike(opts.pattern)
    .orderBy('file, line');
}

export function listFunctionNodes(db, opts = {}) {
  return _functionNodeQuery(opts).all(db);
}

export function iterateFunctionNodes(db, opts = {}) {
  return _functionNodeQuery(opts).iterate(db);
}

column parameter unsanitized — same injection pattern fixed in fanInJoinSQL/fanOutJoinSQL

The previous review noted that edgeKind and alias in the join helpers were interpolated without validation, and that was fixed. The column parameter in testFilterSQL has exactly the same issue: it is interpolated directly into the returned SQL fragment with no allowlist or regex guard.

Because testFilterSQL is re-exported from src/db.js and src/index.js as part of the public programmatic API, an external caller can pass a user-controlled string. For example:

testFilterSQL("n.file' OR '1'='1 --")
// → AND n.file' OR '1'='1 -- NOT LIKE '%.test.%' ...

This effectively drops all NOT LIKE guards and can short-circuit unrelated WHERE clauses depending on placement.

Consider adding a column validator similar to validateAlias:

Suggested change
export function testFilterSQL(column = 'n.file', enabled = true) {
if (!enabled) return '';
return `AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%.test.%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%.spec.%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%__test__%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%__tests__%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%.stories.%'`;
}
const SAFE_COLUMN_RE = /^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*(?:\.[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*)?$/i;
function validateColumn(column) {
if (!SAFE_COLUMN_RE.test(column)) {
throw new Error(`Invalid SQL column reference: ${column}`);
}
}
export function testFilterSQL(column = 'n.file', enabled = true) {
if (!enabled) return '';
validateColumn(column);
return `AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%.test.%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%.spec.%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%__test__%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%__tests__%'
AND ${column} NOT LIKE '%.stories.%'`;

  • Test coverage includes all new functionality: fluent builder methods, repository functions, edge cases
  • No existing test files were modified - new functionality gets new test files
  • Test structure follows established patterns with proper describe blocks and setup

Phase 4: Code Quality Review ✅

Strengths:

  • Clean separation of concerns: Connection handling (connection.js), migrations (migrations.js), query building (query-builder.js), and repository patterns (repository.js) properly isolated
  • SQL Injection Protection: The original concern has been RESOLVED - fanInJoinSQL and fanOutJoinSQL now include proper validation:
    • validateEdgeKind() restricts edgeKind to EVERY_EDGE_KIND constants (src/db/query-builder.js:20-26)
    • validateAlias() uses regex /^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*$/i to prevent SQL injection (src/db/query-builder.js:8-12)
  • Comprehensive test coverage: Both unit tests and integration coverage for all new functions
  • Backward compatibility: Barrel export preserves all existing import paths (src/db.js:1-20)
  • Input validation: Repository functions validate kinds against EVERY_SYMBOL_KIND
  • Code duplication resolved: Shared _functionNodeQuery helper eliminates duplication between listFunctionNodes and iterateFunctionNodes

No significant issues remaining: All previously identified concerns have been addressed.

Root Cause Analysis

Problem Being Solved: Legitimate code duplication elimination and architectural cleanup - addresses real technical debt without hiding symptoms.
Why This Approach: Clean separation of concerns with backward compatibility via barrel exports.
Risk Assessment: Low risk - comprehensive tests, input validation, and no breaking changes.

Critical Concerns

None - all previously identified SQL injection vulnerabilities have been resolved with proper input validation.

Final Recommendation

  • Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
  • Action: APPROVE
  • Reasoning: This is excellent refactoring work that addresses legitimate technical debt with a clean architecture approach. The barrel export pattern maintains perfect backward compatibility while enabling better code organization. All security concerns have been resolved with proper input validation. The comprehensive test suite and strict input validation demonstrate high code quality. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is that it's "just" refactoring rather than new functionality, but it's exceptionally well-executed refactoring.

Strong approval recommended - this PR demonstrates best practices for major refactoring: maintain backward compatibility, comprehensive testing, security-conscious input validation, and clean architectural separation.

orderBy() and select() methods are unvalidated SQL injection paths.

The PR hardened standalone helpers like testFilterSQL, fanInJoinSQL, and fanOutJoinSQL with input validation. However, the orderBy() and select() methods on NodeQuery interpolate their arguments directly into the SQL string without any guard:

const sql = `SELECT ${this.#selectCols}\n       FROM nodes n${joins}${where}${orderBy}${limitClause}`;

Since NodeQuery is exported from src/db.js and src/index.js as part of the public programmatic API, an external consumer can pass user-controlled strings:

new NodeQuery()
  .orderBy("n.file; DROP TABLE nodes; --")
  .all(db);
// → ORDER BY n.file; DROP TABLE nodes; --

Consider adding a validateOrderBy() guard (similar to the validateColumn pattern already in place) for orderBy() at minimum, or prominently document these methods as unsafe escape hatches in the JSDoc.

Fixed in 131cde6. Both orderBy() and select() now validate their inputs:

  • orderBy() splits on commas and checks each term matches /^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*(\.[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*)?\s*(asc|desc)?$/i
  • select() uses a parenthesis-aware comma splitter (splitTopLevelCommas) and validates each token matches safe column refs, table.*, or FUNC(...) AS alias patterns

Both throw Error on invalid input. Tests added for injection attempts and valid COALESCE expressions.

Circular module dependency introduced.

query-builder.js imports EVERY_EDGE_KIND from ../queries.js, and repository.js imports EVERY_SYMBOL_KIND from ../queries.js. Both modules are re-exported from db.js, which is itself imported by queries.js:

queries.js  →  db.js  →  db/query-builder.js  →  queries.js  (circular)
queries.js  →  db.js  →  db/repository.js     →  queries.js  (circular)

ESM live bindings make this work today because constants are only accessed inside function bodies (not at module-init time). However:

  1. The dependency direction is inverted — the DB layer should not depend on the query layer.
  2. It is fragile: if either constant moves to module-level initialization, the circular reference will fail silently.
  3. It will surprise future contributors debugging module-load ordering.

The clean fix is to extract the kind/edge constants into a dedicated file (e.g., src/kinds.js) and import from there in both queries.js and the db/ modules, breaking the cycle entirely.

Fixed in 131cde6. Extracted all kind/edge constants to a new src/kinds.js module:

  • query-builder.js now imports EVERY_EDGE_KIND from ../kinds.js
  • repository.js now imports EVERY_SYMBOL_KIND from ../kinds.js
  • queries.js re-exports all constants from ./kinds.js (no breaking change for external consumers)

This breaks the cycle: db/ modules → kinds.jsqueries.js, with no circular path remaining.

Extract kind/edge constants to src/kinds.js so db/ modules no longer
import from queries.js (which itself imports from db.js), breaking the
circular module dependency.

Add input validation to NodeQuery.orderBy() and .select() methods to
prevent SQL injection through unvalidated string interpolation.

PR Review: Repository Pattern Refactoring

Todo Checklist:

  • Phase 1: Root Cause Analysis - understand problem and approach
  • Phase 2: Configuration Change Detection - check for rule relaxation
  • Phase 3: Test Integrity - verify test quality and coverage
  • Phase 4: Code Quality Review - analyze implementation details
  • Address Greptile's remaining concerns (circular deps, orderBy/select injection, error handling)
  • Final Assessment and Rating

Phase 1: Root Cause Analysis ✅

Problem Being Solved: Legitimate code duplication elimination in SQL patterns - specifically WHERE clause conditions (test file exclusions, kind filtering) and JOIN patterns (fan-in/fan-out edge counts). The monolithic src/db.js (400+ lines) was becoming unwieldy with mixed concerns.

Why This Approach: Clean architecture separation with backward compatibility via barrel exports. The refactoring addresses real technical debt by:

  • Eliminating ~100 lines of duplicated SQL patterns across 7 call sites
  • Separating concerns: connection management, migrations, query building, repository functions
  • Maintaining zero import churn via the barrel re-export pattern
  • Introducing fluent query building to reduce SQL maintenance overhead

Risk Assessment: Low risk - this is genuine refactoring, not symptom hiding. The barrel export strategy preserves all existing imports with no breaking changes.

Phase 2: Configuration Change Detection ✅

No problematic configuration changes detected:

  • No biome.json modifications (checked - file exists but unchanged)
  • No ESLint or TypeScript config modifications found
  • No test timeouts increased or coverage thresholds lowered
  • No linting rules disabled or relaxed in the codebase

The changes are pure code refactoring without any rule relaxation to hide underlying issues.

Phase 3: Test Integrity ✅

New tests are comprehensive and well-structured:

  • 45 new unit tests across query-builder.test.js and repository.test.js
  • Tests use proper setup/teardown with in-memory SQLite databases
  • Assertions are strict and specific - no conditional or weakened assertions found
  • Test coverage includes all new functionality: fluent builder methods, repository functions, edge cases
  • No existing test files were modified - new functionality gets new test files
  • Test structure follows established patterns with proper describe blocks and setup

Phase 4: Code Quality Review ✅

Strengths:

  • Clean separation of concerns: Connection handling (connection.js), migrations (migrations.js), query building (query-builder.js), and repository patterns (repository.js) properly isolated
  • SQL Injection Protection: Previous concerns have been RESOLVED:
    • validateOrderBy() validates ORDER BY clauses with /^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*(?:\.[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*)?\s*(?:asc|desc)?$/i
    • validateSelectCols() uses parenthesis-aware comma parsing and validates complex expressions
    • validateColumn(), validateAlias(), validateEdgeKind() all properly restrict inputs
  • Circular Dependency: RESOLVED - src/kinds.js extracts constants, breaking the circular import chain
  • Comprehensive test coverage: Both unit tests and integration coverage for all new functions
  • Backward compatibility: Barrel export preserves all existing import paths

Remaining Minor Issue:

  • Misleading error message in triage.js: When findNodesForTriage throws a validation error for invalid --kind, the catch block returns { total: 0 }, causing CLI to show "No symbols found. Run 'codegraph build' first." instead of the actual validation error. However, the warn() call does log the real error, so users running with verbose logging will see it.

Greptile Concerns Assessment

Circular module dependency: RESOLVED - src/kinds.js now centralizes all constants, eliminating the circular import chain
SQL injection in orderBy()/select(): RESOLVED - Both methods now have proper validation before interpolation
⚠️ Misleading CLI error messages: PARTIALLY ADDRESSED - The validation error is logged via warn() but CLI still shows misleading "run build" message for invalid kinds

Root Cause Analysis

Problem Being Solved: Legitimate code duplication elimination and architectural cleanup - addresses real technical debt without hiding symptoms.
Why This Approach: Clean separation of concerns with backward compatibility via barrel exports.
Risk Assessment: Low risk - comprehensive tests, input validation, and no breaking changes.

Critical Concerns

None - All major SQL injection vulnerabilities and circular dependencies have been resolved. The remaining error message issue is minor UX concern.

join() is an unvalidated raw SQL injection path in the public API

The previous review rounds hardened orderBy() and select() with input validation, but join(sql) still accepts completely arbitrary SQL with no guard. Since NodeQuery is re-exported from src/db.js and src/index.js as part of the public programmatic API, an external caller can construct arbitrary JOIN clauses:

new NodeQuery()
  .join("JOIN (SELECT 1) x ON 1=1 UNION SELECT * FROM sqlite_master --")
  .all(db);

The four named helpers (withFanIn, withFanOut, withComplexity, withChurn) all call this.#joins.push(hardcoded_sql) directly, so they don't need join() to be public. The raw escape hatch is only needed internally.

Consider either (a) making join() private / #join() and removing it from the public interface, or (b) adding a validateJoinSQL guard similar to validateOrderBy that allows only safe patterns (e.g., LEFT JOIN table alias ON alias.col = n.col).

opts.role silently returns zero rows for invalid values — inconsistent with opts.kind

opts.kind is validated against EVERY_SYMBOL_KIND and throws an error if invalid (line 40). opts.role is passed through to .roleFilter() with no validation: an invalid value like role: 'supervisor' produces WHERE n.role = 'supervisor' which silently returns 0 rows rather than throwing. From the caller's perspective this is indistinguishable from "no results match" vs "the filter argument was wrong".

Since VALID_ROLES is already defined in kinds.js, validation is straightforward:

if (opts.role && !VALID_ROLES.includes(opts.role)) {
  throw new Error(`Invalid role: ${opts.role} (expected one of ${VALID_ROLES.join(', ')})`);
}

This mirrors the existing opts.kind guard and keeps the two option checks consistent.

_functionNodeQuery doesn't accept noTests — inconsistency with findNodesForTriage

findNodesForTriage pushes test-file exclusion down to the SQL layer via .excludeTests(opts.noTests), so only qualifying rows are ever fetched. _functionNodeQuery has no such option; every caller (listFunctionsData, iterListFunctions, findMatchingNodes) fetches all rows including test-file nodes and then discards them in application memory.

For large codebases this means an unbounded number of test-file rows are fetched, deserialized, and thrown away on every call. Since the excludeTests builder method already exists, a one-liner fix keeps things consistent and efficient:

function _functionNodeQuery(opts = {}) {
  return new NodeQuery()
    .select('name, kind, file, line, end_line, role')
    .kinds(['function', 'method', 'class'])
    .fileFilter(opts.file)
    .nameLike(opts.pattern)
    .excludeTests(opts.noTests)
    .orderBy('file, line');
}

The callers in queries.js could then drop their post-fetch isTestFile filters.

Fixed in 9c9ab51. Added .excludeTests(opts.noTests) to _functionNodeQuery, so listFunctionNodes and iterateFunctionNodes filter test files at the SQL layer. Tests added for both functions confirming test-file exclusion works.

…s in _functionNodeQuery

- Rename NodeQuery.join() to _join() to remove raw SQL injection from public API
- Add opts.role validation against VALID_ROLES in findNodesForTriage (mirrors opts.kind)
- Add excludeTests(opts.noTests) to _functionNodeQuery so listFunctionNodes/iterateFunctionNodes
  filter test files at the SQL layer instead of post-fetch
