path
The paths connecting entityIdA to entityIdB.
Returns an empty list when no path exists — never throws.
Return
zero or more paths; an empty list by default
The paths connecting entityIdA to entityIdB, confined to contextId (a null context is unscoped — exactly the plain pathBetween overload). Routed here only when honorsContextFilter is true; the default body delegates to the unscoped overload.
Parameters
the context to confine the walk to; null keeps it unscoped
Same as the context-scoped overload above, but also carries the caller's own hop ceiling (maxDepth) for the walk, so a backend that enforces its own hard cap can clamp against the caller's ceiling instead of a value it hardcodes itself — mirroring the maxDepth-carrying neighborhood overload. The facade always calls this overload rather than the three-arg one, so a store that only overrides the three-arg overload keeps working unchanged, just without seeing the caller's ceiling.
Parameters
the caller's own hop ceiling; a backend combines this with its own hard cap (e.g. min(maxDepth, ownHardCap)) rather than trusting it blindly
The paths connecting entityIdA to entityIdB, keeping only edges whose source authority is at least minAuthority (a null floor keeps everything).
The facade only calls this when honorsAuthorityFilter is true. A backend that opts in MUST override this overload — the default body throws rather than silently returning unfiltered paths.
Same as the authority-aware overload above, but also carries the caller's own hop ceiling (maxDepth), for the same reason as the context-aware maxDepth-carrying overload.
