This project has a knowledge graph. Start with the code-review-graph MCP tools to narrow scope, then read the source. The graph is cheaper than scanning files and gives you structural context (callers, dependents, test coverage) that file search cannot. - Narrow scope with the graph, then read the source. Do not change code from graph output alone. - For any non-trivial change, read the implementation and the relevant tests before concluding. - Verify the exact source when touching behavior, database…
