fix(8.0): implement multi-hop subtype BFS in pure JS (open-core works standalone)

Previous (post-step-12) state shipped a regression: removing the
`depth > 1 + subtype` throw left the open-core JS path silently
returning wrong results — the verbType walk reached depth N, but the
subtype intersection only filtered at depth 1. Multi-hop subtype
queries on a brainy without cortex returned all reachable entities,
ignoring the subtype filter at hops 2+.

That violated the open-core boundary in two ways:
- Brainy MIT users got a silent-wrong-answers bug on a public API.
- The "fix" of the day before suggested routing through cortex's
  native `findConnectedSubtype` — which would have gated a legitimate
  brainy API behind a paid product. That's bait-and-switch; the
  platform principle is that brainy MIT works standalone.

THE FIX

Implement multi-hop subtype-aware BFS in pure JS. Per-hop predicate
checks both verbType (when supplied) and subtype at every edge
crossing. Cycle guard via `visited`. Stops at `depth` or when the
frontier empties.

Complexity scales with branching factor × depth, not total graph size.
At a typical branching factor of ~50 outgoing edges per node, depth=3
visits ~125 K edges — well under a second on the open-core JS path.
That's fast enough for any reasonable production workload.

If a registered graph-index provider exposes a faster native
`findConnectedSubtype` (cortex's D.3 native BFS is the obvious
example), brainy can detect and route through it via the existing
provider-detection pattern. That's an OPTIMIZATION, not a correctness
requirement. The JS path is the contract; native is a drop-in
replacement.

CHANGES

src/brainy.ts (executeGraphSearch)
- Deleted the post-throw assumption that subtype filtering only worked
  at depth=1. Replaced with a real BFS.
- New inner function `bfsWithSubtype(anchor, walk)`:
  - Direction handling: 'in' walks incoming edges, 'out' outgoing,
    'both' unions both at every hop.
  - Per-hop: getRelations({ from|to: node, type: via, subtype })
    — pulls edges already filtered by verbType + subtype. Defensive
    re-check on edge.subtype in case a future getRelations impl
    widens its filter.
  - Cycle guard: visited set seeded with the anchor. Never re-enters
    the anchor; never revisits a node.
- Subtype-absent path unchanged — still calls `neighbors()` for the
  fast verbType-only BFS.

NO-OP for the subtype-absent case. Multi-hop + subtype now works
correctly on the open-core JS path at any depth.

VERIFICATION

- npx tsc --noEmit: clean
- npm test: 1408 / 1409 (same pre-existing race-condition outstanding;
  no other regressions)
