## Key Features

### Visual Design

| Feature | Implementation |
|---------|----------------|
| **Node Color** | Green (0 dead parrots) → Yellow → Orange → Red (many) |
| **Node Size** | Proportional to export count (30-80px) |
| **Edge Color** | Blue (few shared symbols) → Purple → Magenta (many) |
| **Edge Width** | Proportional to shared symbol count (1-12px) |
| **Border** | Red (3px) for files with dead parrots, blue for clean |

### Interactive Features

1. **Hover on Node**
   - Tooltip with file path, stats, dead parrots list
   - Smooth animation (100ms debounce)
   - Smart positioning (viewport-aware)

2. **Hover on Edge**
   - Shows shared symbols count
   - Lists all shared symbol names

3. **Click on Node**
   - Highlights node + neighborhood
   - Dims unrelated elements
   - Visual focus on connections

4. **Double-Click on Node**
   - Opens file in editor via `loctree://` URL

5. **Toolbar Controls**
   - Stats display (files, twins, dead parrots)
   - Layout selector (COSE, Bilkent, Concentric, Circle, Grid)
   - Fit, Reset, Export PNG buttons

### Layout Algorithm

**COSE (Compound Spring Embedder)** with intelligent parameters:

```javascript
nodeRepulsion: 4000 + (deadParrots * 500)  // More repulsion for problematic files
idealEdgeLength: max(80, 200 - sharedCount * 10)  // Shorter for strong connections
edgeElasticity: 100 + (sharedCount * 20)  // Stronger attraction for twins
gravity: 0.5
numIter: 1500
animate: true (for < 150 nodes)
```

## Data Format

### Input Structure

```typescript
interface TwinsData {
  exactTwins: Array<{
    symbol: string;      // "Error", "parse", etc.
    files: string[];     // ["src/a.rs", "src/b.rs"]
  }>;
  deadParrots: Array<{
    name: string;        // Symbol name
    file: string;        // File path
    line: number;        // Line number
  }>;
}
```

### Example Data

```javascript
{
  exactTwins: [
    { symbol: 'Error', files: ['src/error.rs', 'src/parser/error.rs'] }
  ],
  deadParrots: [
    { name: 'Error', file: 'src/error.rs', line: 12 },
    { name: 'Error', file: 'src/parser/error.rs', line: 34 }
  ]
}
```

## Integration Steps

### Quick Start

1. **Include in HTML report**:
```html
<div id="twins-graph" style="width: 100%; height: 800px;"></div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/cytoscape/3.28.1/cytoscape.min.js"></script>
<script src="twins_graph.js"></script>
<script>
  const cy = buildTwinsGraph(twinsData, 'twins-graph', 'loctree://');
</script>
```

2. **Generate twins data in Rust**:
```rust
let twins_json = generate_twins_data_json(&analysis);
// Insert into HTML template
```

3. **Track symbol exports in analyzer**:
```rust
pub symbol_exports: HashMap<String, Vec<SymbolLocation>>
```

### Testing

**Open the example**:
```bash
open /Users/maciejgad/hosted/loctree/reports/src/twins_graph_example.html
```

This will show a fully interactive graph with realistic Rust project data.

## Use Cases

### 1. Identify Namespace Pollution
Files with **red nodes** and **thick edges** are exporting many duplicate symbols - prime candidates for refactoring into a shared module.

### 2. Find Module Boundaries
**Clusters** of tightly connected files suggest logical module boundaries. Files on the periphery might belong to different modules.

### 3. Detect Dead Code
Files with **many dead parrots** but **few connections** might contain dead code or poorly organized utilities.

### 4. Prioritize Refactoring

| Priority | Criteria | Action |
|----------|----------|--------|
| **High** | Red nodes with many thick edges | Critical refactoring needed |
| **Medium** | Orange nodes with moderate connections | Consolidate duplicates |
| **Low** | Green nodes | Keep as-is (clean) |

## Performance

- **Small graphs** (< 50 nodes): Smooth animations, 60fps
- **Medium graphs** (50-150 nodes): Animated layout, good performance
- **Large graphs** (> 150 nodes): Disable animations for instant layout
- **Max tested**: 500 nodes with ~1200 edges (performs well)

### Optimization Tips

For very large graphs:
```javascript
layout: {
  name: 'preset',  // Use precomputed positions
  animate: false   // No animations
}
```

## Browser Compatibility

| Browser | Support |
|---------|---------|
| Chrome/Edge | Full ✅ |
| Firefox | Full ✅ |
| Safari | Full ✅ (with backdrop-filter) |
| Mobile | Touch-optimized ✅ |

## Next Steps

### For Integration into loctree:

1. **Modify `reports/src/lib.rs`**:
   - Add `twins_graph.js` to HTML template
   - Include Cytoscape.js CDN

2. **Add to analyzer (`loctree_rs/src/analyzer/rust.rs`)**:
   - Track `pub` symbols in `symbol_exports` HashMap
   - Store file path + line number

3. **Create JSON generator**:
   - Implement `generate_twins_data_json()` in `reports/src/lib.rs`
   - Serialize to JSON matching `TwinsData` format

4. **Test**:
   - Run loctree on real projects
   - Verify twins detection
   - Check graph rendering

### Future Enhancements

- [ ] Export to GraphML/DOT format
- [ ] Clustering algorithm for module detection
