This commit replaces `ast.walk` inside loops with `ast.NodeVisitor` implementations in `PythonParser` (`_extract_calls`, `_compute_complexity`, and `_extract_imports`). This resolves a performance bottleneck where nested AST generator traversal caused O(N^2) complexity, thereby improving AST parsing and indexing speed for large Python files.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request. When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down. I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

💡 What: Replaced nested
ast.walk()loops inPythonParser._extract_calls,_compute_complexity, and_extract_importswithast.NodeVisitorimplementations.🎯 Why: The nested
ast.walk()loops caused O(N^2) time complexity during AST traversal because every node traversal generated all its sub-nodes iteratively, leading to heavy redundant processing for deeply nested nodes. This slowed down the code scanner significantly on large Python files.📊 Impact: Reduces AST parsing time complexity for these operations from O(N^2) to O(N), substantially improving indexing speed for large source code files without changing behavior or sacrificing readability.
🔬 Measurement: Verify tests pass, and observe exact indexing time during full repository parsing using performance profiling tools. The change is isolated and deterministic.
