Blast Radius

Trace a change's consequences through the surrounding system and check the assumptions that determine whether supported behavior remains intact. Return an evidence-backed impact report.

Establish the Question

Reuse the caller's frozen target, context, and scope. For a standalone request, resolve the change and comparison point, record versions or diff commands, and make included staged, unstaged, and untracked work explicit. Preserve a snapshot when needed; do not alter user work to obtain one.

State the behavior that changes and the question being investigated. Identify supported consumers and operating conditions from evidence. Ask for missing context only when it prevents a useful investigation.
