Code change visualization turns a list of edited lines into a diagram of components and relationships. It can help a reviewer see which files belong together and how a proposed change moves through the system.
A diagram is an inferred aid rather than a verified model of the code. Useful visualizations preserve direct links to files, symbols and diff sections so every claim can be checked.

Frequently asked questions
What can a code change diagram show?
It can show changed components, dependencies, data flow, semantic layers and links to the relevant files or diff sections.
Can a code change visualization be inaccurate?
Yes. It may infer a relationship that is absent or miss dynamic behavior, so reviewers must check the underlying implementation.
