Description
Issue: Add get_dataflow_lineage tool
Labels: enhancement, schema-discovery, priority:low
Problem:

Proposed Solution:
Tool that returns a simplified lineage view: sources → transformations → outputs.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Tool accepts: dataflow ID
- Returns DAG of query dependencies
- Shows source connections and output destinations
