Fix YARD documentation warnings

[Copilot]

YARD was emitting warnings about incorrectly formatted @see tags and unresolved link references. This cleans up the documentation to eliminate all warnings.

Changes

• Removed curly braces from @see tags in 8 locations across lib/eaco/controller.rb, features/support/env.rb, lib/eaco/cucumber/world.rb, lib/eaco/rake/default_task.rb, and lib/eaco/cucumber/active_record.rb

• Fully qualified ACL#find_by_role reference in lib/eaco/dsl/acl.rb to Eaco::ACL#find_by_role for proper link resolution

• Updated CHANGELOG.md with Unreleased section documenting the fixes

Example

# Before (causes YARD warning)
# @see {Eaco::Resource}

# After
# @see Eaco::Resource

Running yard now completes with zero warnings while maintaining 100% documentation coverage.

Original prompt

The repository ifad/eaco currently produces YARD warnings when running yard:

• [error]: Error loading plugin 'yard-cucumber'
• [warn]: @see tag (#N) should not be wrapped in {} (causes rendering issues) in multiple files
• [warn]: Cannot resolve link to ACL#find_by_role from text: ...{ACL#find_by_role}... in lib/eaco/dsl/acl.rb

We want to clean up these documentation warnings so that yard runs without emitting them.

Please make the following changes:

1. Fix @see tags wrapped in {}

   In these files (line numbers approximate and based on current HEAD; please search within the file to confirm):

   • lib/eaco/controller.rb (around lines 77 and 90)
   • features/support/env.rb (around lines 18 and 26)
   • lib/eaco/cucumber/world.rb (around line 152)
   • lib/eaco/rake/default_task.rb (around line 194)
   • lib/eaco/cucumber/active_record.rb (around lines 73 and 152)

   There are @see tags written with curly-brace-style links, for example:

   # @see {World}
   # @see {ActiveRecord.define_schema!}
   # @see {SomeClass#some_method}

   YARD expects @see to take a reference without {}. Update these so they use standard YARD reference syntax:

   # @see World
   # @see ActiveRecord.define_schema!
   # @see SomeClass#some_method

   In general, remove the {} around the reference in @see tags, but keep them for inline links in normal comment text if any.

2. Fix unresolved {ACL#find_by_role} links in lib/eaco/dsl/acl.rb

   YARD emits warnings in lib/eaco/dsl/acl.rb:

   • Cannot resolve link to ACL#find_by_role from text: ...{ACL#find_by_role}...

   This is because the ACL class is defined as Eaco::ACL, so the unqualified {ACL#find_by_role} may not resolve from the Eaco::DSL namespace.

   In lib/eaco/dsl/acl.rb, update the links to use the fully-qualified constant name:

   # BAD
   # for calling {ACL#find_by_role}.
   
   # GOOD
   # for calling {Eaco::ACL#find_by_role}.

   Apply this change to all occurrences of {ACL#find_by_role} in that file.

3. (Optional but nice) Document the change

   If the project has a CHANGELOG or similar, add a brief note that YARD documentation warnings were cleaned up, referencing the specific changes to @see tags and ACL#find_by_role links, if that fits the project’s conventions.

4. Verification

   • Run bundle exec yard (or yard if that’s how it’s invoked in this repo) and ensure that:
     • The warnings about @see tags being wrapped in {} are gone.
     • The warnings about unresolved ACL#find_by_role links are gone.
   • Do not change any runtime behavior—only documentation comments.
