The Scout watches a configured directory for file system events and parses changed files into structured AST representations. It is deterministic and cheap to run — it makes zero LLM calls.

- Filter events by file extension (.py, .js, .ts) and ignore patterns
- Debounce rapid saves (500ms per-file window)
- Parse Python files into AST nodes using tree-sitter
- Emit structured ChangeEvents to the MessageBus
