feat(flows): trace environment variable reads through function calls

[Chase J (chajac)]

Overview of Changes

A flow can read environment variables through functions in other files. This change follows module initialization and function calls to collect those reads. It handles recursive calls and excludes unused function bodies.

Base: chajac/env-source-reads.

Testing

Naming, lint, format, type, unused-code, and build checks passed. The full test suite passed: 2,642 tests, no failures.

bash scripts/check-naming.sh
bun run typecheck
bun run lint --max-warnings 0
bun run format:check
bun run knip
bun run test
bun run build

Tests cover decorator expressions, whole-object reads, exact recursive results, imports, constructors, getters, callbacks, recursion, flow entry points, unused functions, and incomplete results for unresolved local calls.

Checklist

• Changes follow the code style of this project
• Self-review completed
• Tests added/updated (or not applicable)
• No breaking changes (or described below)

Walkthrough

The change adds TypeScript environment-variable flow analysis. It identifies executed code, resolves callable and module relationships, collects direct and indirect environment reads, propagates reads through recursive call graphs, and reports incomplete results for dynamic or unresolved access. It also adds a temporary-bundle test utility and tests for execution scope, calls, classes, modules, recursion, and dynamic keys.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e78de

Some supported code patterns can produce incomplete environment-variable reports marked as complete, so the analysis should be corrected before merge.

- Around line 1-3: Refactor the test utility’s temporary bundle setup and
cleanup to eliminate filesystem I/O from src/core: remove the mkdtemp, mkdir,
writeFile, and rm usage and provide the bundle through an in-memory TypeScript
CompilerHost instead. Update the helper methods around the temporary bundle
creation and removal while preserving their existing compiler/test behavior.

In `@src/core/envVarAnalysis/executionSummary.ts`:
- Around line 81-83: Update readEnvVarsFrom to mark unhandled whole-object
process.env references as dynamic. Reuse the existing handling conditions for
property/element access and object-binding variable declarations, and set
dynamic for references not covered by those cases so callers report
mayBeIncomplete correctly.

In `@src/core/envVarAnalysis/executionSyntax.ts`:
- Around line 48-53: Update walkExecuted’s class-like node handling to visit
decorator expressions on the class and each member before returning, including
decorators nested in the existing current.members loop. Reuse the established
decorator traversal so expressions such as decorator arguments contribute their
environment reads and dynamic state.

In `@src/core/envVarAnalysis/recursiveCalls.test.ts`:
- Around line 24-26: Update the test around result.byFlow to assert that both
expected flows are present before validating their entries, so it fails when the
map is empty or omits either flow. Preserve the existing reads expectation for
each returned flow.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Remove file-system I/O from the core test utility. AGENTS.md defines src/core/ as pure code with zero I/O. The test-only filename does not provide an exception. analysis.testUtils.ts:31-37 creates and writes a temporary bundle, and line 65 removes it. If this helper remains in src/core/, replace the temporary bundle with an in-memory CompilerHost. This is an essential refactor for the explicit layer contract, but it is not a major functional issue.
