N00b question: Language parsers gives me concrete information, like “com.foo.bar.Baz is defined here”. Does tree sitter do that or does it say “this file has a symbol declaration for Baz” and elsewhere for that file “there is a package statement for ‘com.foo.bar’” and then I have to figure that out?

You have to figure this out for yourself in most cases. Tree sitter does have a query language based on s-expressions, but it is more for questions like "give me all the nodes that are literals", and then you can, for example, render those with in single draw call. Tree sitter has incremental parsing, and queries can be fixed at a certain byte range.
