Nice idea, especially for onboarding to an unfamiliar repo. The hard part is usually keeping the explanation grounded in the actual code paths, so it would be useful if the map links every summary node back to the files/functions it was derived from.

I feel like an idiot for not coming up with this idea myself. I'm going to see about adding this.
