feat(analyze): chunk-level parse cache for full incremental speedup

Composes with the incremental DB writeback (commit 27f3b49d) to deliver
the major-speedup half of incremental indexing. Previously, the parse
phase ran in full on every analyze; the speedup came purely from
selective DB rewriting. With this commit the parse phase also reuses
prior tree-sitter output for chunks whose contents haven't changed.

How it works:

* Cache layer (gitnexus/src/storage/parse-cache.ts):
  - File: <repo>/.gitnexus/parse-cache.json. Versioned, atomic write.
  - Key: chunk content hash = sha256(sorted(filePath:fileContentHash
    for each file in chunk)).
  - Value: ParseWorkerResult[] (raw worker output for the chunk,
    pre-merge).
  - Granularity: per chunk (~20MB byte-budget). A change to one file
    invalidates only its chunk — typically 1 of ~50 on a 1000-file
    repo (~98% cache hit ratio on a small edit).

* Worker contract (gitnexus/src/core/ingestion/parsing-processor.ts):
  - Extracted the chunk-result merge loop into a public
    mergeChunkResults() so the same logic applies to live worker
    output AND replayed cache entries.
  - processParsingWithWorkers / processParsing accept an optional
    outRawResults out-parameter that captures worker output before
    merging — used by parse-impl to populate the cache after a miss.

* Parse phase wiring (parse-impl.ts):
  - For each chunk, compute its content hash (after reading file
    contents). Cache hit → mergeChunkResults() on cached results,
    skip the worker dispatch entirely. Cache miss → run workers
    normally, capture raw results, store under the chunk hash.
  - Cache mutations happen in-place on the ParseCache passed via
    PipelineOptions.parseCache.

* Lifecycle (run-analyze.ts):
  - loadParseCache() before pipeline runs.
  - Cache passed via runPipelineFromRepo's PipelineOptions.
  - saveParseCache() after the pipeline + DB writeback succeed.

Equivalence verified on this repo (993 files, 24K nodes):

  Cold (no cache, full work):           141.1s
  Warm cache + 1-file edit, incremental: 63.6s  ← 55% speedup
  Warm cache + 1-file edit, --force:     71.6s  ← 49% speedup

All three runs produce byte-identical {nodes, edges, clusters,
flows}. The cache survives --force (content-addressed = always
correct), so even forced rebuilds get the parse-skip benefit.

Why chunk-level rather than per-file: workers process sub-batches and
emit aggregated ParseWorkerResults. Per-file granularity would require
restructuring the worker contract; chunk-level captures most of the
practical speedup with no worker-side changes.
