Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the existing commodity-graph output feature and the code that constructs investment graphs; compare its representation with the listed primary-flow, SED/SVD, duplicate-edge, strongly connected component, and layer requirements. Done means a hidden developer path produces a DOT file that makes investment order, supernodes, and layers understandable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

We currently have a feature to output commodity graphs, but we also create investment graphs which are slightly different:

  • only primary flows
  • only SED/SVD commodities
  • edge labels don't matter
  • duplicate edges can be compressed
  • strongly connected components are compressed into "supernodes"
  • nodes are grouped into layers

It would be useful to have a way of visualising these investment graphs so the investment order can be understood.

This should probably be a hidden developer feature for now
