feat: Flow-oriented exploration with entry point identification

Update Claude prompt to identify the entry point and return symbols in
execution order. The graph now centers on the entry point and auto-opens
its detail panel, giving users a clear starting point to trace the flow.

- Claude returns {entry, flow} instead of flat array
- Entry point is auto-selected and centered on load
- Detail panel opens immediately for the entry point
- Prompt asks for max 8-10 symbols in execution order
