Editor surface for dartograph, the
permanently free (MIT) dependency-graph and evidence-query CLI for Dart.
The extension shells out to the dartograph executable and renders its JSON
reports in the Problems panel. It does not replace the Dart analyzer —
findings are graph evidence with stated limitations, never a deletion verdict.
Requirements
dart pub global activate dartograph
Commands

Runs impact --changed with the open Dart file and marks impacted symbols and related tests.
dartograph: Clear Findings
Clears dartograph diagnostics.

Reading the findings
dead findings are warnings like declaration: not reachable from retained roots. They are observations with evidence, not deletion advice.
deps findings are pinned to pubspec.yaml because the audit reports
package names, not source ranges.
dup findings are informational ranges spanning each duplicated block.
Report limitations are written to the dartograph output channel —
absence of findings is not proof of safety.
Build and test
The extension is plain CommonJS JavaScript with no build step.
