qzx traceCircularImports

Representative output example

This illustrative JSON is derived from the current implementation-backed result contract. It shows what the command can return without claiming a recorded execution; values vary with inputs, host, permissions, and optional tools.

Example command: qzx traceCircularImports --json

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "Traces module imports recursively and identifies circular import dependencies (loops). In this illustrative example, the command completed successfully.",
    "cycles": [

            "package.beta",
            "package.alpha"
        ]
    ],
    "cycles_count": 3,
    "scan_path": "C:\\project\\example.txt"

Errors and limits

The public contract requires success=false and a descriptive message on failure. This catalog does not yet declare a command-specific error taxonomy; inspect the result and do not invent error codes.

QZX is alpha software. Optional dependencies, permissions, and host capabilities can change the result.

Evidence workflow: ready for deterministic automated capture.
