Main Window
The main layout includes header, toolbar, side panel, graph view, detail panel, and status bar.
Toolbar
- Rescan Project - rebuild the dependency database
- Inspect Selection - focus selected Project asset
- Find Path - trace the dependency chain between any two assets (see Find Path)
- Options - toggle code string reference detection on or off (persisted)
- Export - export graph/report output
- Depth slider (1–5) - controls traversal depth
- Search - refocuses graph by asset name
Graph view
- Pan and zoom with minimap navigation
- Focused node highlighted
- Double-click node to ping in Project window
- Right-click actions: Ping, Select, Focus Graph Here, Copy Asset Path
The graph is a read-only view of your project. Deleting is only possible through the confirmed, backed-up flow in the side panel - there is deliberately no unguarded delete anywhere in the graph.
Keyboard shortcuts
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| F | Focus the graph on the current Project selection, or frame the graph |
| P | Toggle Find Path mode |

| / | Jump to the search box |
| Esc | Cancel Find Path mode, or leave the search box |
Status bar
Shows indexed asset count, focused asset, depth, node count, truncation flag, and cache-stale warning. During Find Path it prompts for the next click.
