Problem

Jumping between a use and its definition requires understanding scope structure, not text.

Why tree-sitter.zig helps

Parent chains give you enclosing scopes; queries collect candidate definitions; byte ranges give you jump targets.

API

Node.parent, descendantForByteRange, Query captures.

Architecture

Symbol at offset → namedDescendantForByteRange → parent scopes
  → query definitions in scope → jump to range
