Benefits
The incremental source generator API provides several advantages:
Verification
✅ Both generators build successfully with zero warnings
✅ Generated output remains identical to previous implementation
✅ Test compilation confirms generators produce expected files
✅ All existing functionality preserved
The migration maintains 100% backward compatibility while modernizing the codebase to use current best practices.
Fixes #280.
