fix(supermodel): wire feature-removal FP filter into extract_ground_truth (#714)

[greynewell]

Summary

Fixes the 0-recall benchmark scores reported in supermodeltools/supermodel-public-api#714 for PRs that delete entire files (e.g. n8n #23572, prisma #28485).

Root cause

_is_feature_removal_fp and _parse_deleted_imports were fully implemented but never called. extract_ground_truth only ran _parse_diff and returned raw results with no FP filtering — meaning GT included symbols that were actively imported by other files also deleted in the same PR. These are feature-removal co-deletions, not dead code; no static-analysis tool would ever report them pre-merge, so they should not count as benchmark targets.

What this PR does

Wires the existing filter into extract_ground_truth:

deleted_imports = _parse_deleted_imports(diff)
declarations = [d for d in declarations if not _is_feature_removal_fp(d, deleted_imports)]

The filter is conservative: a symbol is only suppressed when another deleted file in the same PR imports it from a module whose basename matches the declaration's file. Genuinely orphaned symbols (no deleted importer) are kept in GT and are correctly detectable by the API when analysing the pre-merge commit.

Benchmark PR examples (from issue)

PR	Symbol	Deleted importer?	Expected GT result
n8n #23572	LoadPyodide (Pyodide.ts)	None	Keep — genuinely orphaned
n8n #23572	PythonSandbox (PythonSandbox.ts)	CodeRunner.ts (deleted)	Drop — feature removal
prisma #28485	extractSqliteSources	None	Keep — genuinely orphaned
prisma #28485	serializeDatasources	extractSqliteSources.ts (deleted)	Drop — feature removal

Tests

16 new unit tests in tests/test_supermodel_dead_code.py:

• _parse_deleted_imports: single-line named, multi-line block, default import, empty diff
• _is_feature_removal_fp: all four benchmark cases + multi-line import case
• Integration (_parse_diff + filter pipeline): n8n pattern, prisma pattern, all-genuinely-dead, multi-line import

All 16 pass. Pre-commit hooks (ruff, mypy) clean.

Test plan

• All 16 new tests pass: uv run pytest tests/test_supermodel_dead_code.py -v
• Full test suite passes: uv run pytest -m "not integration"
• Re-run n8n #23572 and prisma #28485 benchmark tasks — recall should improve from 0

Fixes supermodeltools/supermodel-public-api#714

Walkthrough

This PR refactors dead-code analysis by activating a previously-implemented but unused false-positive filter that excludes symbols removed alongside their importing files. It also updates API authentication (removing curl config files, using direct headers), adds an MCP/baseline evaluation mode distinction, stabilizes zip archive generation with consistent metadata, and revises precision metrics to compare predictions against "alive code" instead of full ground truth. Comprehensive test coverage is added.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Dead Code Ground-Truth & FP Filtering src/mcpbr/benchmarks/supermodel/endpoints/dead_code.py, tests/test_supermodel_dead_code.py	Extends TypeScript declaration parsing to recognize interface, type, and enum exports; implements the _is_feature_removal_fp filter to exclude deleted symbols co-removed with their importing files, and applies tighter confidence gates for high-confidence candidates.
API Client & Request Handling src/mcpbr/benchmarks/supermodel/api_client.py	Replaces curl config file auth with direct X-Api-Key header injection; updates idempotency key version to v3; simplifies JSON parsing by removing explicit exception handling; streamlines return value handling.
Benchmark Evaluation Framework src/mcpbr/benchmarks/supermodel/benchmark.py, src/mcpbr/benchmarks/supermodel/evaluation.py	Removes resolved_threshold parameter; adds is_mcp flag to create_environment to separate MCP and baseline analysis paths; extends compute_prf1 with alive_code parameter to compute false positives against alive set instead of ground truth; removes module-level logging.
Archive & Utility Improvements src/mcpbr/benchmarks/supermodel/git_utils.py	Adds source map files (*.map, *.js.map) to binary exclusion patterns; stamps generated zip archives with a consistent comment for version-independent hash stability.
Integration & Test Harness src/mcpbr/harness.py	Uses runtime signature inspection to conditionally pass is_mcp parameter to create_environment when supported; extends result serialization to include custom benchmark metrics.
Documentation CHANGELOG.md	Documents the fixed ground-truth extraction behavior for dead-code analysis.

Closing — the FP filter was already wired in since commit 918e3a1. This PR only rewrote the comment. Will investigate the actual root cause of 0-recall for whole-file-deletion PRs separately.
