feat(ptc): add line and column numbers to static analysis errors

- Extract lineNumber directly from QuickJS error object instead of regex parsing
- Add bounds checking to only report lines within agent code
- Display column numbers for type errors (line N, col M)
- Simplify typeValidator line number logic with clearer comments
- Add tests for line numbers on first/last lines and column display
