Implement AST parsing and symbol table extraction using tree-sitter.

Parse Python files into tree-sitter ASTs
Extract top-level symbols: functions, classes, methods, module-level assignments
Store symbol metadata: name, type, line range, docstring, decorators, type annotations
Handle nested structures (methods within classes, nested functions)
Graceful handling of syntax errors (tree-sitter does error recovery — use it)

This is the foundation of the harness's code understanding. Every other code intelligence feature builds on having an accurate symbol table.
