feat(export): implement Neo4j Bulk CSV Exporter and update registry docs (#261) (#665)

* feat(export): implement Neo4j Bulk CSV Exporter and update registry docs (#261)

* fix(export): address review bugs in Neo4j CSV exporter

- _write_csv: filter **options to known csv.writer dialect params only,
  preventing TypeError when callers pass kwargs like delimiter= or encoding=
  that would reach csv.writer twice or as unknown arguments
- export_neo4j_csv: split kwargs into constructor-level init_params vs
  per-call call_kwargs before forwarding, eliminating the double-pass that
  caused dialect params to collide inside _write_csv
- _prepare_export: remove dead node_id_lookup dict that was built but never
  consumed by any caller
- export_knowledge_graph dispatch: drop the ambiguous "neo4j" format alias
  (kept "neo4j_csv" and "neo4j-csv"); "neo4j" conflicts with the codebase's
  established meaning of the live Bolt/Cypher store backend; add inline
  comment clarifying that file_path is treated as an output directory for
  this format
- export_usage.md: fix all three wrong API examples — constructor params
  node_label_sep/strict_validation corrected to label_separator/strict,
  non-existent nodes_path/rels_path kwargs removed, convenience-method
  example updated to show the correct positional output_dir argument

* docs(changelog): add Neo4j Bulk CSV Export entry for PR #665

Documents the new Neo4jCSVExporter feature contributed by @Luffy2208
and the five follow-up bug fixes (TypeError on dialect kwargs,
double-pass kwargs split, dead node_id_lookup removal, ambiguous
format="neo4j" alias removal, and wrong API examples in docs).

 ### Added
 
+- **Neo4j Bulk CSV Export** (#665) by @Luffy2208
+  - Added `Neo4jCSVExporter` for generating Neo4j bulk-import CSV files compatible with `neo4j-admin database import`
+  - Produces deterministic `nodes.csv` and `relationships.csv` with stable node IDs — reuses existing graph IDs or derives reproducible SHA-256 content-based IDs when none are present
+  - Multi-label support via Neo4j `:LABEL` convention with configurable `label_separator` (default `;`)
+  - Alphabetically sorted property columns and deterministic row ordering for reproducible output across permuted inputs
+  - Relationship endpoint resolution: aliases (`name`, `text`, `label`) automatically mapped to stable node IDs
+  - Nested property serialisation to canonical JSON; flat scalar values written directly
+  - `dry_run()` method for pre-flight CSV validation without writing files
+  - `validate_export()` for post-write integrity checks (unique `:id`, consistent column widths, valid endpoint references)
+  - `export_nodes()` and `export_relationships()` for partial exports
+  - `strict=True` mode raises `ValidationError` on unresolved relationship endpoints
+  - `export_neo4j_csv()` convenience function and `format="neo4j_csv"` / `format="neo4j-csv"` dispatch in `export_knowledge_graph()`
+  - Registry integration under the `neo4j_csv` task namespace
+  - Documentation added to `semantica/export/export_usage.md` with usage examples, mapping assumptions, and `neo4j-admin` import command
+  - 13 tests covering headers, node/relationship CSV structure, multi-label, missing properties, deterministic output, CSV quoting/escaping, Unicode, empty graphs, dry-run, duplicate ID detection, ambiguous alias handling, nested property serialisation, and `KnowledgeGraph` integration
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Neo4j CSV exporter `_write_csv` crashed with `TypeError` on dialect kwargs** (#665) by @KaifAhmad1
+  - Passing `delimiter=`, `encoding=`, or any caller kwarg to `export_neo4j_csv` caused `csv.writer` to receive unknown or duplicate keyword arguments; `_write_csv` now whitelists only valid `csv.writer` dialect params (`quotechar`, `doublequote`, `skipinitialspace`, `escapechar`, `strict`)
+
+- **`export_neo4j_csv` double-passed kwargs to both the constructor and `export()`** (#665) by @KaifAhmad1
+  - Constructor-level settings (`node_file_name`, `relationship_file_name`, `encoding`, `delimiter`, `label_separator`, `strict`) were merged into config for the constructor then re-forwarded as `**kwargs` to `export_knowledge_graph`, causing dialect params to collide; kwargs are now split into `init_kwargs` and `call_kwargs` before forwarding
+
+- **Dead `node_id_lookup` dict removed from `_prepare_export`** (#665) by @KaifAhmad1
+  - The `{original_index → stable_id}` mapping was built on every export but never consumed; removed to avoid misleading future readers
+
+- **Dropped ambiguous `format="neo4j"` alias from `export_knowledge_graph` dispatch** (#665) by @KaifAhmad1
+  - `"neo4j"` is used throughout the codebase to identify the live Bolt/Cypher graph store backend; routing it silently to the offline bulk-CSV exporter would have confused callers; only `"neo4j_csv"` and `"neo4j-csv"` are accepted
+
+- **`export_usage.md` documented non-existent constructor and function parameters** (#665) by @KaifAhmad1
+  - Examples showed `node_label_sep` (correct: `label_separator`), `strict_validation` (correct: `strict`), and `nodes_path`/`rels_path` kwargs that do not exist; all three examples corrected to match the actual API
+
 - **Public API Ingestion Support** (#602) by @Luffy2208
   - Added `PublicAPIIngestor` class built on top of `RESTIngestor` for credential-free REST endpoints
   - Added `PublicAPIExample` and `PublicAPIExamples` catalog with 6 pre-configured no-auth examples:

+### Neo4j Bulk CSV Export
+
+The `Neo4jCSVExporter` generates node and relationship CSV files specifically structured for Neo4j's high-performance bulk import utility (`neo4j-admin database import`).
+
+#### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from semantica.export import Neo4jCSVExporter
+
+# Initialize the exporter
+exporter = Neo4jCSVExporter(
+    label_separator=";",  # Separator for multi-label nodes (default: ";")
+    strict=True           # Raise on unresolved relationship endpoints (default: True)
+)
+
+# Export a knowledge graph — output_dir receives nodes.csv and relationships.csv
+exporter.export_knowledge_graph(kg, "neo4j_import/")
+```
+
+#### Convenience Method
+
+You can also use the convenience wrapper `export_neo4j_csv`:
+
+```python
+from semantica.export.methods import export_neo4j_csv
+
+export_neo4j_csv(kg, "neo4j_import/")
+```
+
+Pass `validate=True` to run a post-export integrity check before returning:
+
+```python
+export_neo4j_csv(kg, "neo4j_import/", validate=True)
+```
+
+#### Importing into Neo4j
+
+Once the CSV files are generated, they can be imported into a new Neo4j database using the `neo4j-admin database import` command:
+
+```bash
+neo4j-admin database import full \
+  --nodes=nodes.csv \
+  --relationships=relationships.csv \
+  neo4j
+```
+
+#### Mapping Assumptions & Rules
+
+- **Header Specification**:
+  - Node CSV headers are generated as `:id` (node identifier) and `:LABEL` (labels).
+  - Relationship CSV headers are generated as `:START_ID` (source node), `:END_ID` (target node), and `:TYPE` (relationship type).
+  - Custom attributes/properties are written as standard columns.
+- **Node Labels**: Supports multiple labels per node. Labels are serialized into a single string column using the configured `label_separator` (default `;`).
+- **Stable Node IDs**: Reuses `id` (or `entity_id` / `node_id`) from node dictionaries. If a node is missing an ID, a stable content-derived ID is generated via a SHA-256 hash of its properties, ensuring reproducibility.
+- **Relationship Endpoint Resolution**: If a relationship refers to nodes by their `name`, `text`, or `label` rather than their exact `id`, the exporter resolves these aliases automatically to their stable node IDs to guarantee that `:START_ID` and `:END_ID` strictly match existing node IDs.
+- **Property Serialization**: Flat values (strings, numbers, booleans) are serialized directly. Nested properties (e.g. dicts, lists, sets) are serialized into a canonical JSON representation.
