style: scanner not lexer

## Description

`GenerateFreshName` used a global `ticker` variable but never incremented it inside the loop.
This caused an infinite loop if the first generated name (`_0`) was already in the used set.

- Remove global `ticker` variable.
- Use loop variable `i` directly to generate candidate names.

## Benefits

- Fixes infinite loop bug when generated name collides with used set.
- Removes unnecessary global state.
- Simpler and more predictable behavior.

## Checklist

- [x] Code follows conventional commit format.
- [x] Branch follows naming convention (`<type>/<description>`). Always use underscores.
- [x] Tests pass (if applicable).
- [x] Documentation updated (if applicable).

 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
 subprograms and other parts of the work.
