## Description

This project is a static code analysis tool that functions as a code unit resolver and source code line mapper. It identifies the specific function or method that contains a given line of code by analyzing the structure of source files without executing the program.

The utility maps line numbers to their parent code units by examining the organization of source files and identifying the ownership of specific lines. It determines the boundaries of functions and methods through text-based structural parsing and range detection.

These capabilities support source code analysis and static analysis tooling for developer tool integration and code navigation workflows.
