When does this happen?

IF Developer or AI needs to assess blast radius before deleting, moving, renaming, splitting, or merging a file or symbol to avoid breaking downstream consumers.

How others solved it

THEN Run an in-memory simulation of the change using the pre-built dependency graph. Compute health score delta, list of affected nodes, broken imports, and removed edges. Present concrete, file-level results so the impact is understood before any actual file I/O occurs.

Simulate delete: pass target file path and operation type (delete, move, rename, split, merge) to the tool. It returns affected nodes count, broken import list, and health score change.
