Will be watching closely. Complex codebases are a bit of a hairball and I'm actually curious what techniques you can use to focus attention in on all the links that actually matter in the service of safe change management. It is a surprisingly difficult task to pull all these (sometimes) illegible threads, and, given my experience, I'd be surprised if a tool can actually snipe it one-shot.

But I'm optimistic here given your current approach—entrypoints and illuminated indirection ("related code you didn't know existed"—feels like what I'd want ready to hand.

The problem is only going to get worse with all the AI generated slop code filling PRs now, too. Goddangit
