feat(reach): align reachability flags and coana env with Node CLI (#226)

Bring the Python CLI's reachability surface to parity with the Node CLI:

- --reach-disable-external-tool-checks -> coana --disable-external-tool-checks
- forward SOCKET_CLI_VERSION + SOCKET_CALLER_USER_AGENT to coana (proxy is left to
  coana, which reads/inherits HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY itself)
- omit SOCKET_REPO_NAME/SOCKET_BRANCH_NAME for the default repo/branch sentinels
- Node-style --reach-analysis-timeout/--reach-analysis-memory-limit as primary names,
  --reach-timeout/--reach-memory-limit kept as hidden aliases
- --reach-debug -> coana --debug (global --enable-debug -> -d unchanged)
- retry tier1 finalize with exponential backoff (3 attempts), never raising

Memory-limit and concurrency are intentionally NOT hardcoded: coana already defaults to
8192 MB and concurrency 1, so the CLI omits the flags and lets coana apply them (and still
forwards an explicit value when the user sets one). Splitting stays explicitly disabled
(--disable-analysis-splitting) because coana defaults it ON.

Removes stray always-on WARNING logging in the reachability runner. Adds a CHANGELOG 2.4.2
entry and tests for the flags/aliases, the coana command/env builder, and finalize retry.

 # Changelog
 
+## 2.4.2
+
+### Added: reachability flag and Coana environment alignment with the Node CLI
+
+- New `--reach-disable-external-tool-checks` flag (passes `--disable-external-tool-checks`
+  to the Coana CLI).
+- New `--reach-debug` flag to enable Coana debug output (`--debug`) independently of the
+  global `--enable-debug`.
+- Node-style `--reach-analysis-timeout` and `--reach-analysis-memory-limit` are now the
+  primary flag names; the previous `--reach-timeout` / `--reach-memory-limit` continue to
+  work as hidden aliases.
+- The Coana subprocess now receives `SOCKET_CLI_VERSION` and `SOCKET_CALLER_USER_AGENT` so
+  calls are attributed to the Python CLI. Proxies continue to work via the inherited
+  `HTTPS_PROXY` / `HTTP_PROXY` environment variables, which Coana reads itself.
+- `SOCKET_REPO_NAME` / `SOCKET_BRANCH_NAME` are no longer forwarded to Coana when the repo
+  and branch are the default sentinels, avoiding cross-run reachability cache-bucket
+  collisions.
+- Tier 1 reachability finalize now retries with exponential backoff instead of giving up on
+  the first transient error.
