anchor-trace-horizontal-extension

Trace dependencies across multiple architecture layers by selecting an anchor file to map both upward consumers and downward dependencies. This bi-directional tracing identifies which components belong to Renderer, Preload, Main, Utility, and Shared layers.

Plan a cross-layer feature extension by generating a minimal, deterministic plan from an anchor file. This approach distinguishes processing versus passthrough layers to outline required changes and reduce integration risk during refactors.

Identify processing versus passthrough files by mapping imports and exports across architecture layers. The trace categorizes each component's role to expose which modules perform work and which just route data.

Yes, you can map dependencies across Renderer, Preload, Main, Utility, and Shared layers from a single anchor file. The trace identifies both who imports the anchor and who the anchor imports across these specific architecture boundaries.

Generate a reproducible extension plan by enforcing a disciplined anchor-based dependency trace. This deterministic process maps cross-layer connections and outputs a concise, actionable plan for implementing new features with minimal disruption.
