To trace symbol definitions and usages across a codebase, run the forensics funnel on the target module. This maps execution paths by returning exact files consulted, symbol references, and reconstructed execution flow.

Codebase forensics for impact analysis is the process of tracing data and control flow through modules to map execution paths. It identifies blast radius, ownership boundaries, and call chains to enable safe code changes.

Yes, you can map execution paths and blast radius before refactoring large repositories. The process reconstructs execution flow and boundary mappings to assess the potential impact surface of your changes.

The best way to perform evidence-based debugging on complex execution paths is tracing definitions and usages across the codebase. This returns exact files consulted, symbol references, and any uncertainties about the data flow.

Yes, code forensics works for identifying ownership and call chains in large repos. It applies symbol definition and usage tracing to map how data and control flow through modules across the codebase.

When tracing execution paths across modules, expect uncertainties regarding boundary mappings and reconstructed flows. The analysis explicitly returns these uncertainties alongside exact files consulted and symbol references.
