Dependency graph reasoning
Trace impacts, check order and simplify the right dependency model.
Find every downstream dependency affected by a changed component
Compute reachability rather than listing only immediate consumers.
Check a proposed build order against all prerequisite edges
Validate a sequence without calculating task finish dates.
Remove a redundant precedence edge while retaining the same ordering
Distinguish reachability simplification from deleting an independent input contract.
Estimate interface work from actual links rather than component count
Compare a sparse dependency graph with an all-pairs assumption.
Group mutually dependent components into one planning unit
Collapse a dependency cycle instead of pretending it has a linear internal order.
