What information helps you to get onboarded into a new codebase?

I'm not sure there's anything better than manually tracing hotpaths and making changes. Maybe an INTERNALS.md to document architecture would be nice. And reading through recent PRs too. Curious about your approach.

You’re right. What I’m working on is meant to complement that, especially early on. The goal isn’t to replace judgment or deep dives, but to surface patterns that can guide where to look: areas with a lot of churn, untouched files, contributors active in a specific part of the code, etc.

It’s still early, but I’d like to evolve it to make those insights more actionable, maybe even link recent PRs, show how files evolved, or highlight ownership boundaries. Feedback like yours helps shape that, so thanks again.

Ok, and code hotpaths are not represented by repo metadata.
