This aligns with the mandate to consider what is **valuable**, **novel**, and **complete**. We have tightened the knot on local aliasing (Identity), but the lattice still has gaps at the boundaries of modules and in the presence of higher-order flows.

Here are the high-value extensions that transform this from a "heuristic scanner" to a "structural compiler."

---

### 1. The "Wildcard" Bridge (`*args` & `**kwargs`)

**The Gap:** Currently, if a function `wrapper(*args, **kwargs)` forwards arguments to `target(*args, **kwargs)`, your script sees this as an opaque wall. The chain of custody is broken because there are no explicit parameter names to track.
**The Opportunity:** Treat `*args` and `**kwargs` as **transparent conduits**.
**Implementation:**

* **Signatures:** Detect if a function accepts `*args` or `**kwargs`.
* **Flow:** If `*args` is passed to a callee, map the *entirety* of the caller’s remaining positional arguments to the callee’s positional slots.
* **Value:** This preserves the "braid" through decorators, logging wrappers, and middleware, which are notorious for breaking static analysis chains.

### 2. True Import Resolution (The "Symbol Table")

**The Gap:** Your current `_resolve_callee` relies on probabilistic matching (suffix matching `module.func`). It fails on aliased imports (`from utils import runner as r`).
**The Opportunity:** Implement a **Static Import Graph**.
**Implementation:**

* Create a `ModuleVisitor` that runs before the function analysis.
* Parse `import x` and `from x import y as z`.
* Build a global map: `(File, LocalName) -> (TargetFile, TargetName)`.
* **Refined Logic:** When `_resolve_callee` sees `r(...)`, it looks up `r` in the local file's import map and jumps directly to `utils.py`.
**Value:** This moves the tool from **Tier-3 (Heuristic)** to **Tier-1 (Deterministic)** correctness. It is essential for large, multi-module repos.

### 3. Protocol Synthesis (The "Doer" Extension)

**The Gap:** The script currently *reports* a bundle `{user_id, account_id, region}`. The user must then manually write a class to house them.
**The Opportunity:** **Automated Crystalization.**
**Implementation:**

* For every "Component" (connected graph of bundles), assume the bundle represents a latent Type.
* Aggregate the type hints observed via the `--type-audit` logic.
* **Output:** Generate a `protocols.py` file containing:
```python
class RegionContext(Protocol):
    user_id: int
    account_id: str
    region: str

```



**Value:** This reduces the "activation energy" of refactoring. It creates the "Crystal" directly from the "Noise."

### 4. Topological Refactoring Plan (The "Spiral")

**The Gap:** The Mermaid graph shows clusters, but not the *order* of operations. If `A` calls `B` and both need refactoring, changing `A` first breaks `B`.
**The Opportunity:** **Dependency-Aware Refactoring Schedule.**
**Implementation:**

* Treat the call graph as a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph).
* Perform a **Reverse Topological Sort**.
* **Advice:** "Refactor `B` (the callee) first. Once `B` accepts a `Config` object, update `A` to construct and pass it."
**Value:** This turns the report into a project management artifact. It respects the constraint: "You must return to where you began, but higher." (Refactor the leaves to support the root).

### 5. Partial Application & "Currying" Detection

**The Gap:** Sometimes a bundle is `{a, b}`, but a specific call site passes `{a, b, c=True}`. The current script might see `{a, b, c}` as a different, competing bundle, causing fragmentation.
**The Opportunity:** Identify **Subset Relations**.
**Implementation:**

* If Bundle , and the difference  corresponds to constant values or default parameters at the call site, merge them.
* Identify this as "Partial Application" rather than "Disagreement."
**Value:** This reduces noise in the report by unifying "Conceptually Identical" bundles that only differ by configuration flags.

### Implementation Priority (The "Next Step")

If strict correctness is the goal, **Import Resolution (#2)** is the priority. It fixes the "Foundation."
If utility/impact is the goal, **Protocol Synthesis (#3)** is the priority. It provides the "Detour Shape."

**Would you like me to draft the `ImportVisitor` to solve the resolution gap, or the `ProtocolGenerator` to enact the synthesis?**
