SourceLoader class

Loads and resolves Dart source files for analysis.

Uses the Dart Analyzer package to parse and resolve source files, providing access to both syntax (AST) and semantics (resolved types).

Example:

final loader = SourceLoader('lib');

// Discover all Dart files
for (final file in loader.discoverDartFiles()) {
  // Get fully resolved AST with type information
  final result = await loader.resolveFile(file);
  if (result != null) {
    print('${file}: ${result.unit.declarations.length} declarations');
  }
}

// Always dispose when done
loader.dispose();

Note: Always call dispose when finished to release analyzer resources. For automatic cleanup, use Anteater.analyzeMetrics or Anteater.analyze.
