Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the extension's existing CodeQL integration and visualization entry points, then define a viewer that displays a single-file control-flow graph and makes disconnected components visible; completion should cover that stated use case without spanning files.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement VSCode

The use case of the control-flow graph viewer is for teams developing language libraries. They need to ensure that the CFG generated by the CodeQL library is correct. In particular, such a graph makes it easy to see erroneously disconnected components.

The CFG does not need to span across files.
