[sweep] proactive: drop vestigial code-patterns surface from context package

Code indexing was removed, so _find_code_patterns always returned [] yet
build_context_package still called it, ContextPackage.code_patterns stayed
a live field, _build_summary advertised 'Found N code patterns', and
_count_items counted it — a permanently-empty slot the system claimed to
populate. The dead method, its call, the summary line, and the count
reference are removed. The code_patterns field itself is retained
(always-empty, serialized in to_dict and the optimal route response) for
API/schema back-compat, marked deprecated in its docstring.
