💡 What: Replaced the full `parser.parse()` call in `cli/src/project.rs` `resolve_dependencies` with a lightweight, token-based scanner that directly extracts module paths from `import`, `use`, and `from` statements.
🎯 Why: Resolving dependencies previously required fully parsing every file (generating an entire AST) just to extract import statements at the top. This caused an N+1 parsing loop that severely degraded performance on large projects.
📊 Impact: Expected to significantly reduce project build times (especially dependency resolution phase) by completely bypassing memory-heavy AST allocations during the initial dependency graph discovery.
🔬 Measurement: A localized test with 1000 files showed that `tsc build` avoided massive AST overhead.
