Understand Explain

This is for when you need to actually understand a piece of code, not just skim it. Point it at a file, function, or module and it walks through the knowledge graph to map out what the component does, what depends on it, what it depends on, and where it fits in your architecture. It greps the graph strategically instead of dumping everything into context, then reads the actual source for a full explanation. The output assumes you might not know the language well, which is honestly useful even when you do. Works best after you've run the base understand command to generate the knowledge graph. Good for onboarding, refactoring decisions, or those moments when you inherit something gnarly and need the full picture.
