feat(dependencies): unified dependencies… (#362)

Merge dependency-related methods to provide a unified interface:
- Make dependencies a proxy property with optional depth parameter
- Default to all dependencies (depth=None)
- Support direct dependencies via depth=1
- Maintain backward compatibility
- Update move_symbol_to_file to use direct dependencies

Additional fixes:
- Replace complex ternary with clear condition in _get_all_dependencies
for better readability
- Fix type annotations in Symbol class to remove invalid use of ...
- All changes maintain backward compatibility

 ]
 ```
+## Traversing the Dependency Graph
+
+Sometimes you need to analyze not just direct dependencies, but the entire dependency graph up to a certain depth. The `dependencies` method allows you to traverse the dependency graph and collect all dependencies up to a specified depth level.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+
+# Get only direct dependencies
+deps = symbol.dependencies(max_depth=1)
+
+# Get deep dependencies (up to 5 levels)
+deps = symbol.dependencies(max_depth=5)
+```
+
+The method returns a dictionary mapping each symbol to its list of direct dependencies. This makes it easy to analyze the dependency structure:
+
+```python
+# Print the dependency tree
+for sym, direct_deps in deps.items():
+    print(f"{sym.name} depends on: {[d.name for d in direct_deps]}")
+```
+
+### Example: Analyzing Class Inheritance
+
+Here's an example of using `dependencies` to analyze a class inheritance chain:
+
+```python
+class A:
+    def method_a(self): pass
+
+class B(A):
+    def method_b(self): 
+        self.method_a()
+
+class C(B):
+    def method_c(self):
+        self.method_b()
+
+# Get the full inheritance chain
+symbol = codebase.get_class("C")
+deps = symbol.dependencies(
+    max_depth=3
+)
+
+# Will show:
+# C depends on: [B]
+# B depends on: [A]
+# A depends on: []
+```
+
+### Handling Cyclic Dependencies
+
+The method properly handles cyclic dependencies in the codebase:
+
+```python
+class A:
+    def method_a(self):
+        return B()
+
+class B:
+    def method_b(self):
+        return A()
+
+# Get dependencies including cycles
+symbol = codebase.get_class("A")
+deps = symbol.dependencies()
+
+# Will show:
+# A depends on: [B]
+# B depends on: [A]
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  The `max_depth` parameter helps prevent excessive recursion in large codebases or when there are cycles in the dependency graph.
