Examples:
"What issues exist in my current file?"
"What files depend on this API endpoint?"
"Does my frontend match the backend contract for /v1/users?"
Requirements

A valid Bridge API key
Privacy
Bridge sends the contents of your open and recently edited files to your configured Bridge backend for analysis. No data is sent to third parties — all processing goes through your own Bridge instance.
