This project turns a CA-7 spool extract into a dependency explorer with a drill-down flow diagram and an expandable relationship tree. It now includes a VS Code extension version of the viewer, while the original static browser files remain in the repo.
This is an EARLY version, submit bug reports in the Github repo.

VS Code Extension
Open this folder in VS Code.
Pick a CA-7 spool file such as BATCHOUT, or run the command while that file is active in the editor or explorer.
The extension opens the viewer in a webview panel and loads the selected file directly from the workspace or filesystem.
Static Browser Version
Available from the github site
Start a simple web server:
python3 -m http.server 8000
Open http://localhost:8000
Upload a CA-7 text file such as BATCHOUT
Viewer behavior
Upload a file from the left panel.
Search for a job in the left panel.
Click a job to make it the root of the viewer.
Use the flow diagram to inspect upstream and downstream jobs visually.
Click any node in the flow diagram to re-center the diagram on that node.
Use Back to return to the previous drill-down step.
Continuation pages without a job header are attached to the previous job automatically.
Use the skipped-pages panel to inspect any pages the parser still could not attach.
Expand a job node to see its relationship groups.
Click Expand All to open the full visible tree.
Click any nested job pill to make that node the new root.
