Andreas Hilbig 97a0f70fd6 feat(query-optimization): implement GraphQL query optimization and enhance regression suite
- **Optimization**: Implemented automatic Zabbix parameter optimization by analyzing GraphQL selection sets.

- **ZabbixRequest**: Added optimizeZabbixParams with support for skippable parameters and implied field dependencies (e.g., state -> items).

- **Resolvers**: Updated allHosts, allDevices, allHostGroups, and templates to pass requested fields to data sources.

- **Data Sources**: Optimized ZabbixQueryHostsGenericRequest and ZabbixQueryTemplatesRequest to skip unnecessary Zabbix API calls.

- **Regression Tests**: Enhanced RegressionTestExecutor with new tests for optimization (REG-OPT, REG-OPT-NEG), state retrieval (REG-STATE), dependent items (REG-DEP), and empty results (REG-EMPTY).

- **Documentation**: Created query_optimization.md How-To guide and updated roadmap.md, README.md, and tests.md.

- **Bug Fixes**: Fixed deviceType tag assignment during host import and corrected ZabbixCreateHostRequest to support tags.

How-To Guides

This directory contains detailed guides on how to use and extend the Zabbix GraphQL API.

Available Guides

🍳 Cookbook

Practical, step-by-step recipes for common tasks, designed for both humans and AI-based test generation.

Query Optimization

Learn how the API optimizes Zabbix requests by reducing output fields and skipping unnecessary parameters based on the GraphQL query.

📊 Schema and Schema Extension

Learn about the GraphQL schema structure, how Zabbix entities map to GraphQL types, and how to use the dynamic schema extension system.

🗂️ Hierarchical Data Mapping

Understand how the API automatically maps flat Zabbix item keys into nested GraphQL objects using hierarchical resolvers and type hinting.

🔐 Roles and Permissions Extension

Discover how the permission system works, how to define permission levels using Zabbix template groups, and how to query user permissions.

🛠️ Technical Maintenance

Guide on code generation (GraphQL Codegen), running Jest tests, and local Docker builds.

🧪 Test Specification

Detailed list of test cases, categories (Unit, Integration, E2E), and coverage checklist.

🤖 MCP & Agent Integration

Discover how to integrate with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable LLMs and autonomous agents to interact with Zabbix efficiently.
