Artifact Scanner

Enumerates all source files in the project, classifies them by visual role, computes content hashes, and detects inter-artifact dependencies. Produces index.json.

Non-negotiable Rules

1. Respect exclude paths — never scan node_modules, .git, dist, build, or user-configured excludes.
2. Hash every artifact — SHA-256 of file content for change detection and idempotency.
3. Classify conservatively — if unsure, mark as unknown (not irrelevant). Let the ambiguity resolver decide.
4. Detect dependencies — note which artifacts import/reference other artifacts.
