When does this happen?

IF AI coding assistant is about to modify a file but lacks awareness of downstream dependencies.

How others solved it

THEN Use a deterministic dependency graph built with tree-sitter to simulate deletions, moves, renames, splits, or merges before any file I/O. Query the graph for affected nodes and broken imports to prevent cascading breakage. This is exact—no probabilistic estimation.

Simulate delete: run `depwire whatif . --simulate delete --target src/utils/encode.ts` to get precise list of broken imports and health score change.
