Docs/improve comprehensive documentation

[shrutu0929]

Description
This PR addresses several gaps in the current documentation to provide a more comprehensive, accurate, and practical guide for users. All improvements were made directly to existing files without creating new files or directories, keeping the documentation structure clean.

What's Changed
Added Core API References: Expanded

docs/api-reference/overview.mdx
with programmatic usage examples for all major internal subsystems:
CodeSmellAnalyzer and SecurityAnalyzer
AutofixEngine
LLMProvider and PromptManager
RAGSearch
ExtractConstantRefactorer
Added Real-World Recipes: Injected practical, step-by-step implementations into the existing guides:
Added a CI/CD recipe for blocking SQL Injection via GitHub Actions to

docs/guides/code-analysis.mdx
.
Added a python script recipe for running large-scale automated batch refactoring to

docs/guides/refactoring.mdx
.
Updated CLI Commands: Fixed outdated commands in

docs/cli/commands.mdx
to accurately reflect the recent module refactoring:
Added refactron auth login
Added refactron repo init
Expanded Advanced Configuration: Updated

docs/essentials/configuration.mdx
to provide granular, per-analyzer tuning capabilities (e.g., complexity metrics, code smell thresholds, strict security modes) and advanced path exclusion patterns (e.g., rule-specific per_file_ignores).
Motivation and Context
The previous documentation lacked concrete programmatic examples and was missing recent CLI updates. By surfacing the Core Modules API and adding real-world recipes (like the CI integration), developers can now easily integrate Refactron into automated workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces AI-assisted suppression and triage functionality with pattern learning, local caching, new configuration flags, enhanced parser robustness, comprehensive documentation updates, and workflow trigger changes to use pull_request_target events.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflows .github/workflows/auto-label.yml, .github/workflows/coverage.yml	Replaced pull_request event trigger with pull_request_target and updated job conditions accordingly for enhanced security with fork PR handling.
Documentation - API Reference docs/api-reference/overview.mdx	Added comprehensive Core Modules API documentation blocks covering Analyzers, Autofix, LLM Integration, RAG, and Refactorers APIs with example usage patterns.
Documentation - CLI Commands docs/cli/commands.mdx	Added new login command under auth group and init command under repo group; updated --path option description to include both commands.
Documentation - Configuration docs/essentials/configuration.mdx	Reorganized threshold and exclude pattern documentation into grouped sections (complexity, code_smell, security); expanded with per_file_ignores and advanced pattern examples.
Documentation - Guides docs/guides/code-analysis.mdx, docs/guides/refactoring.mdx	Added Real-World Recipes sections demonstrating CI-scanning for SQL injection detection and batch refactoring operations with filtering and aggregation.
Type Annotations (Future-aware) refactron/core/analysis_result.py, refactron/core/models.py, refactron/core/refactor_result.py	Added from __future__ import annotations for forward-compatible type hint evaluation across modules.
Configuration Core refactron/core/config.py	Introduced two new public boolean flags: enable_ai_triage and include_suppressed with default False; serialization updated in to_file.
Analysis & Feedback refactron/core/refactron.py	Integrated AI triage orchestration into CodeSmellAnalyzer initialization; extended feedback recording to accept suppressed_by_ai and accepted_as_smell actions; added graceful degradation for initialization failures.
Code Smell Analysis refactron/analyzers/code_smell_analyzer.py	Added new constructor accepting optional LLMOrchestrator, PatternMatcher, PatternFingerprinter, and PatternLearner; implemented Phase 4 AI-assisted post-processing for suppression detection, triage evaluation, and fix generation.
Pattern Models refactron/patterns/models.py	Extended RefactoringPattern with suppressed_count and overruled_count fields; enhanced update_from_feedback to handle new feedback actions with suppression/override tracking logic.
Pattern Matching refactron/patterns/matcher.py	Added public method is_suppressed_by_ai for querying locally cached suppression state; minor improvements to score calculation and index safety checks.
Parser Robustness refactron/rag/parser.py	Added multi-strategy parser initialization (_init_parser static method) with fallbacks for tree-sitter versions; enhanced parameter extraction with recursive handling of async functions and various Python syntax patterns.
Workspace Types refactron/core/workspace.py	Updated list_workspaces return type from built-in list[WorkspaceMapping] to typing.List[WorkspaceMapping] for compatibility.
Configuration & Build pyproject.toml	Updated mypy config: Python version 3.8→3.9; added ignore_missing_imports=true and follow_imports="skip"; added per-module override disabling strict typing for tests.
Testing - Feedback Integration tests/test_patterns_feedback.py	Updated test to pass new enable_ai_triage configuration parameter.
Testing - Phase 4 E2E tests/test_phase4_e2e.py	Comprehensive end-to-end test module validating AI suppression memorization, local caching behavior, manual override semantics, and integration across PatternLearner, PatternMatcher, and CodeSmellAnalyzer.

• docs: improve comprehensive documentation across API, Guides, and CLI #117: Addresses the documentation improvements including API reference additions, CLI command updates, and real-world recipes/guides for code analysis and refactoring.

Possibly related PRs

• feat(llm): batch triage RAG context extended #106: Complements this PR by adding evaluate_issues_batch and batch triage prompts to LLMOrchestrator, which are directly called by the new CodeSmellAnalyzer Phase 4 logic.
• feat: add pattern learning system foundation #82: Related through pattern learning subsystem modifications—both PRs extend PatternMatcher, PatternFingerprinter, and feedback handling with new counters and actions.
• feat: implement pattern learning engine and service #90: Directly related as both implement and wire the Phase 4 pattern learning/AI triage stack including PatternLearner initialization, Refactron integration, and suppression tracking.

Poem

🐰 With patterns learned and cached so bright,
AI whispers what's wrong and right,
Phase Four triages each code smell smell,
While local suppression works quite well—
Feedback loops help the system grow! 🌿
