Phase T: source positions in parser errors

Every parser error now reports the precise line:col where it occurred.

## Changes

- `Pos { line: u32, col: u32 }` — 1-indexed source position struct.
  Implements Copy + Display + Debug.
- Lexer tracks line/col as it advances chars (increments line on '\n',
  col otherwise).
- New `Lexer::tokenize_with_pos` returns Vec<(Token, Pos)>.
- Parser stores `VecDeque<(Token, Pos)>` instead of `VecDeque<Token>`.
- Parser exposes `current_pos()` for error sites.
- Updated 3 error-emitting sites (expect, parse_primary fallthrough,
  parse_ident fallthrough) to include "at line:col".

## Before / after

  Before:  Error: Expected Semicolon, got Print
  After:   Error: at 2:1: Expected Semicolon, got Print

## Tests

141 still passing across the workspace. No regressions; the existing
tests don't depend on error-message format so they pass through
unchanged. All 6 example .omc programs still execute correctly.

## Why this matters

Every future error-quality improvement builds on this. The runtime
can now propagate source spans through values; the compiler can show
"this variable was declared at line 4, but used at line 12 where it's
out of scope"; the optimizer can blame the right source position when
something it couldn't fold reaches runtime and panics.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added (Phase T: source positions in error messages, 2026-05-13)
+
+Every parser error now reports the precise `line:col` where it occurred. The lexer tracks `line` and `col` as it consumes characters (incrementing line on `\n`, col otherwise). `tokenize_with_pos` returns `Vec<(Token, Pos)>` paired; `Parser` stores them and exposes `current_pos()` to error-reporting sites.
+
+Before:
+```
+Error: Expected Semicolon, got Print
+```
+
+After:
+```
+Error: at 2:1: Expected Semicolon, got Print
+```
+
+The `Pos` struct is `Copy` and `Debug + Display`; `Pos::unknown()` represents synthesized tokens with no source location. Errors are 1-indexed (line 1, col 1 is the first character) for human-friendly reading.
+
+This is the foundation for every future error-quality improvement: the runtime can now annotate values with origin spans, the compiler can show "this variable was declared at line 4, but used at line 12 where it's out of scope," and the optimizer can blame the right source position when something it can't fold ends up at runtime.
