💡 What: Refactored `_extract_calls` and `_compute_complexity` in `src/scanner/ast_parser.py` to use `ast.NodeVisitor` instead of multiple nested `ast.walk` loops.
🎯 Why: `ast.walk` yields all nodes in a tree, leading to an O(N^2) evaluation time when nested within another full traversal. This creates massive inefficiencies for large ASTs.
📊 Measured Improvement: Benchmarked a large AST (100 parent functions, 5,000 nested functions, 105,000 total calls). Extraction time was reduced from ~13 seconds to ~6.7 seconds.
