Code-level understanding milestone

Three analysis milestones in one week. Code-behaviour extraction now runs as a single query-first engine over real syntax trees — no per-language regex heuristics — live-benchmarked across twelve works. Authored-text extraction (the artist’s own comments and strings, as opposed to library boilerplate) now covers all supported languages. And the orient phase gained a judging step that separates the artist’s entry point and authored code from commodity libraries — the cases where pure heuristics fail are exactly the interesting ones.
