Enhance template matching and chain inspection features

- Added new properties to TemplateMatch interface for tracking slots and links completeness, and confidence levels. - Updated resolveCanonicalEdgeType function to handle optional edge vocabulary. - Enhanced computeFindings function to include missing link constraints findings. - Improved inspectChains function to report on links completeness and confidence levels. - Refactored tests to utilize real configuration files and improve integration with the vault structure. - Updated helper functions to support loading from real vault paths, enhancing test reliability.

+# Testing mit echtem Vault
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Die Test-Infrastruktur unterstützt jetzt das Testen mit echten Vault-Dateien und Konfigurationen. Du musst **nicht** mehr Dateien in die Fixtures kopieren - du kannst direkt auf dein echtes Vault verweisen.
+
+## Verwendung
+
+### Option 1: Nur Fixtures (Standard)
+
+```typescript
+import { createVaultAppFromFixtures } from "../helpers/vaultHelper";
+import { loadChainRolesFromFixtures, loadChainTemplatesFromFixtures } from "../helpers/configHelper";
+
+const app = createVaultAppFromFixtures();
+const chainRoles = loadChainRolesFromFixtures();
+const chainTemplates = loadChainTemplatesFromFixtures();
+```
+
+### Option 2: Echter Vault-Path
+
+```typescript
+import { createVaultAppFromPath } from "../helpers/vaultHelper";
+import { loadChainRolesFromFixtures, loadChainTemplatesFromFixtures } from "../helpers/configHelper";
+
+const vaultPath = "\\\\nashome\\mindnet\\vault\\mindnet_dev";
+const app = createVaultAppFromPath(vaultPath);
+const chainRoles = loadChainRolesFromFixtures(vaultPath);
+const chainTemplates = loadChainTemplatesFromFixtures(vaultPath);
+```
+
+### Option 3: Hybrid (Vault + Fixtures als Fallback)
+
+```typescript
+import { createVaultAppFromFixtures } from "../helpers/vaultHelper";
+
+const vaultPath = "\\\\nashome\\mindnet\\vault\\mindnet_dev";
+const app = createVaultAppFromFixtures(vaultPath);
+// Lädt zuerst aus vaultPath, dann aus fixtures als Fallback
+```
+
+## Beispiel: Test mit echtem Vault
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
+import { matchTemplates } from "../../analysis/templateMatching";
+import { createVaultAppFromPath } from "../helpers/vaultHelper";
+import { loadChainRolesFromFixtures, loadChainTemplatesFromFixtures } from "../helpers/configHelper";
+import { buildNoteIndex } from "../../analysis/graphIndex";
+import type { TFile } from "obsidian";
+
+describe("template matching with real vault", () => {
+  const vaultPath = "\\\\nashome\\mindnet\\vault\\mindnet_dev";
+  
+  it("should match template from real vault note", async () => {
+    const app = createVaultAppFromPath(vaultPath);
+    
+    const chainRoles = loadChainRolesFromFixtures(vaultPath);
+    const chainTemplates = loadChainTemplatesFromFixtures(vaultPath);
+    
+    if (!chainRoles || !chainTemplates) {
+      throw new Error("Config files not found");
+    }
+
+    // Lade echte Note aus dem Vault
+    const currentFile = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath("leitbild/Leitbild – Identity Core (MOC).md");
+    if (!currentFile || !("extension" in currentFile) || currentFile.extension !== "md") {
+      throw new Error("File not found");
+    }
+
+    const { edges } = await buildNoteIndex(app, currentFile as TFile);
+    
+    const matches = await matchTemplates(
+      app,
+      { file: currentFile.path, heading: null },
+      edges,
+      chainTemplates,
+      chainRoles,
+      mockEdgeVocabulary,
+      { includeNoteLinks: true, includeCandidates: false }
+    );
+
+    expect(matches.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Priorität beim Laden
+
+1. **Vault-Path** (wenn angegeben): Dateien werden zuerst aus dem echten Vault geladen
+2. **Fixtures**: Als Fallback werden Dateien aus `tests/fixtures/` geladen
+
+## Konfigurationsdateien
+
+Die Config-Helper (`loadChainRolesFromFixtures`, `loadChainTemplatesFromFixtures`) suchen in folgender Reihenfolge:
+
+1. `tests/fixtures/_system/dictionary/chain_roles.yaml`
+2. `tests/fixtures/chain_roles.yaml`
+3. `{vaultPath}/_system/dictionary/chain_roles.yaml` (wenn vaultPath angegeben)
+
+## Vorteile
+
+- ✅ **Kein Kopieren nötig**: Teste direkt gegen echte Vault-Dateien
+- ✅ **Fallback**: Fixtures werden automatisch als Fallback verwendet
+- ✅ **Flexibel**: Kann mit Fixtures, echtem Vault oder beidem arbeiten
+- ✅ **Wartbar**: Änderungen am echten Vault werden sofort in Tests sichtbar
+
+## Hinweise
+
+- Verwende absolute Pfade für Vault-Paths (z.B. `\\\\nashome\\mindnet\\vault\\mindnet_dev`)
+- Die Funktionen sind read-only - keine Dateien werden modifiziert
+- Bei Netzwerk-Pfaden kann die Performance langsamer sein als mit lokalen Fixtures
