💡 What: Converted CacheScanner and NodeModulesScanner from actor to struct.
🎯 Why: In Swift structured concurrency, launching a withTaskGroup from inside an actor causes all child tasks to run sequentially on the actor's executor, destroying intended parallelism for filesystem scanning. Since these scanner types are entirely stateless, they don't need actor isolation.
📊 Impact: Significant reduction in scan time (especially for recursive node_modules searches across multiple roots) by allowing true parallel disk I/O on available CPU threads.
🔬 Measurement: Run the app and observe the completion time of a full scan. Time will be significantly shorter on systems with deep/complex Node project directories.

…ation

Converting CacheScanner and NodeModulesScanner from `actor` to `struct`
since they are stateless. Using an actor with `withTaskGroup` inadvertently
serializes all child tasks onto the actor's single-threaded executor,
destroying parallelism.

This change allows true parallel filesystem traversal.
