I am wondering if manual inspection is the way to go for pt2? Seems almost achievable with some formatting. Anyone been down this road?

Yeah, same here. Graphviz to get an overview (although I didn't actually need it in the end), plus some helper functions. I've got an idea for how to do it in code, though, when I get a moment.

If you get it working, would love to see it.
