Struct Symbol 

pub struct Symbol {
    pub name: String,
    pub kind: SymbolKind,
    pub start_line: usize,
    pub end_line: usize,
    pub owner: Option<String>,
}

A defined symbol with its in-file location (1-based line numbers).

Path-agnostic (ADR 0012): a symbol carries no file path, so the same file content produces byte-identical slices regardless of where it lives, and content-addressed storage dedups them across paths/worktrees. The path is supplied at assembly from the manifest — see Located.

Fields

name: String

kind: SymbolKind

start_line: usize

end_line: usize

owner: Option<String>

The type or module this symbol is defined inside — Foo for a method in impl Foo, Widget for a method in class Widget, util for a function in an inline mod util.

Without it Foo::get and Bar::get are one node, because a symbol’s identity is its bare name. Paired with Reference::qualifier it lets the resolver keep two same-named methods apart with no type inference (#248). Omitted from the serialized slice when absent, so a file of plain free functions keeps the byte-identical slice — and therefore the same content hash — it had before this field existed.
