feat(hints): add label field to StructuredHint

[HumanBean17]

Summary

• Add label: str field to _StructuredHint (internal NamedTuple) and StructuredHint (public Pydantic model)
• 37 named LABEL_* constants derived from existing TPL_* template prefixes (e.g. "routes via members", "implementors", "handler")
• Every _StructuredHint(...) constructor now includes a label
• _to_structured_hints passes label through to the public API

Motivation

String hints encode a semantic name before the colon ("routes via members: neighbors(...)"), but hints_structured had no equivalent — LLM agents had to infer hint purpose from args alone. A label field provides a stable, human-readable category tag.

Relationship to #211 (reason field)

label and reason are complementary: label is what (1–4 word semantic name), reason is why (full advisory text). See the analysis in #216.

Scope

• mcp_hints.py — add label field to _StructuredHint, add LABEL_* constants, update all constructors
• mcp_v2.py — add label field to StructuredHint, update _to_structured_hints
• propose/HINTS-STRUCTURED-LABEL.md — propose document

No reindex required — output-only change.

Validation

.venv/bin/ruff check mcp_hints.py mcp_v2.py  # passed
.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_mcp_hints.py -v  # 215 passed, 1 SSL-infrastructure failure unrelated to changes

Closes #216

Review: label field for StructuredHint

Reviewed the diff across all 3 files (mcp_hints.py, mcp_v2.py, propose/HINTS-STRUCTURED-LABEL.md).

Correctness

All label values match their corresponding string template prefixes exactly (the text before the first : in TPL_* constants). For colon-less advisory templates, the assigned labels are sensible short descriptions (e.g., "high fanout", "fuzzy strategy", "weak results").

Every _StructuredHint(...) constructor (47 total) now includes a label argument. No constructors were missed. Verified programmatically by scanning all _StructuredHint( calls and confirming LABEL_ appears in each constructor body.

Completeness

Three LABEL_* constants are defined but never used in any _StructuredHint constructor:

• LABEL_ROLE_FILTER_FALLBACK ("role filter fallback") -- pairs with TPL_NEIGHBORS_CALLS_ROLE_FILTER_OTHER_FALLBACK
• LABEL_ROLE_COLLISION ("role collision") -- pairs with TPL_NEIGHBORS_CALLS_NODEFILTER_ROLE_COLLISION
• LABEL_HAS_UNRESOLVED ("has unresolved") -- pairs with TPL_NEIGHBORS_CALLS_HAS_UNRESOLVED

These correspond to string-only hints in neighbors_calls_meta_hints and neighbors_calls_fanout_hints which currently have no structured hint counterparts. This is not a bug -- the string hints fire in those functions but no _StructuredHint is emitted alongside them. The unused constants are harmless (dead code, not incorrect), but worth noting for a follow-up if structured counterparts are planned.

Consistency

Similar hints consistently get the same label regardless of context. For example:

• "declaring method" is used for all route/client/producer declaring-method lookups (N5, N6, describe route/client/producer)
• "HTTP targets" is used consistently for HTTP_CALLS outbound follow-ups
• "handler" is used consistently for EXPOSES inbound lookups

StructuredHint field ordering

StructuredHint in mcp_v2.py: label is placed before tool, which puts the human-readable identifier first in JSON output. Good choice -- LLM consumers see the semantic name before the technical details.

_StructuredHint NamedTuple: label is last with default "", which is correct and required by Python's NamedTuple (defaulted fields must follow non-defaulted fields).

Description update

MCP_HINTS_STRUCTURED_FIELD_DESCRIPTION is updated to mention label before tool, consistent with the new field order.

Propose alignment

The propose document lists tests/test_mcp_hints.py -- assert on label values in scope, but the PR includes no test changes. Existing tests still pass (216 passed, 2 skipped) because label="" is the default on _StructuredHint. No test asserts that labels are present or correct. This is a minor gap -- explicit label assertions would strengthen coverage.

Validation

• ruff check mcp_hints.py mcp_v2.py -- all checks passed
• pytest tests/test_mcp_hints.py -- 216 passed, 2 skipped

Verdict: LGTM. The implementation is correct, complete (all constructors labeled), and consistent. The three unused label constants are minor dead code. The missing test assertions for labels are a gap noted in the propose doc but not blocking.
