- LabelInfo, EdgeTypeInfo, PropertyDefinitionInfo, TraverseResult result types
- AsyncCoordinodeClient: get_labels(), get_edge_types(), traverse()
- CoordinodeClient: sync wrappers for all three methods
- traverse() maps direction strings ("outbound"/"inbound"/"both") to TraversalDirection enum
- Export new types from coordinode.__init__
- 15 mock-based unit tests in tests/unit/test_schema_crud.py (no Docker)

All 33 unit tests pass.

Subject: [PATCH 03/16] fix(client): validate direction in traverse(), fix
 lint, guard test cleanup
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Raise ValueError for unknown direction strings instead of silently
  falling back to outbound — masks caller bugs and returns wrong results
- Fix Ruff E741: rename loop variable l → lbl in get_labels tests
- Fix Ruff I001: sort imports in test_sdk.py and test_schema_crud.py
- Move ID-lookup cypher calls inside try blocks so finally cleanup
  always runs even if the lookup query raises
- Skip test_traverse_inbound_direction: CoordiNode Traverse RPC does
  not yet support inbound direction (server returns empty result set)

- PropertyDefinitionInfo: class name typo in string form corrected
- LabelInfo, EdgeTypeInfo: include version field; summarise property count
- Integration test: unique tag for label node; use DETACH DELETE cleanup
- Integration test: replace skip with xfail for unsupported inbound direction

  reports XPASS as a warning instead of a hard failure when server

 for inbound traverse
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

XPASS means the server gained inbound support — that is good news, not
a CI failure. strict=True would break CI at exactly the moment the server
improves. The XPASS entry in pytest output is the signal to remove the marker.

 for consistency

Aligns test_get_labels_returns_list cleanup with the rest of the suite.
DETACH DELETE is safe even if the node gains relationships in future tests.

Replace bare "1" and "0" substring checks with "nodes=1" and "edges=0"
so the test catches incorrect counts like nodes=10 that would otherwise

MIME-Version: 1.0

raises=AssertionError limits the xfail coverage to the known failure mode
(server returns empty result → assertion fails). Unexpected errors such as
gRPC RpcError or wrong enum mapping propagate as CI failures instead of
being silently swallowed by the broad xfail marker.

Pure string/int validation now fires before the deferred proto import.
Callers get ValueError for invalid inputs even when proto stubs have not

Passing direction=None raised AttributeError; passing max_depth='2' or

matching the documented intent of the validation block.

  - isinstance(direction, str) check before .lower() call
  - isinstance(max_depth, int) and not isinstance(max_depth, bool) before < 1
  - Three new unit tests cover None direction, str max_depth, bool max_depth
