Lab 1 — Dependency & Metric Analysis

Goal

Build a structural model of a real codebase and use it to test a design hypothesis.

Tasks

1. Parse classes/modules and dependencies.
2. Construct a directed graph.
3. Compute at least: in-degree, out-degree, cycles/SCCs, and one cohesion/coupling metric.
4. Visualize or export the top structural anomalies.
5. Manually inspect five cases.
6. Write a one-page interpretation explaining where the metrics are misleading.

Deliverables

• analysis script/tool configuration;
• machine-readable results;
• short report with five inspected examples;
• exact repository commit analyzed.
