 "title": "Trace how two components connect before a change",
 "page_title": "How to trace how two components connect before a change with Graphify",
 "summary": "Find the path between two modules or concepts to see what a change could affect.",
 "who": "A developer or reviewer preparing a change that touches two parts of a system that may depend on each other.",
 "problem": "A change to one module can reach another through calls, imports, or inheritance that is not obvious from the file list.",
 "outcome": "A printed path showing how the two things connect, which helps scope the change and the review.",
 "steps": [
  "Make sure the graph is built by running `/graphify .` in your assistant.",
  "Run `graphify path A B` with the names of the two concepts, replacing A and B.",
  "Run `graphify explain` on any intermediate node on the path to see its source location and connections.",
  "Note which links are EXTRACTED and which are INFERRED before deciding how far the change reaches."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Graphify-Labs/graphify repo, run `graphify path <node-a> <node-b>` against the graph in <project-path>/graphify-out/. Expected output is the chain of nodes connecting the two, with edge tags; verify each hop has a source location before listing it as a dependency.",
