Inspect ESIR declared dependencies and cross-mod touchpoints through a checked-in dependency catalog plus optional local installed-mod enrichment. Use when Codex needs to answer which mods ESIR depends on, where those mods are touched at runtime or data stage, which remote interfaces are involved, which planet/content integrations exist, or whether a locally installed external mod is present without treating machine-local state as checked-in truth.

ESIR Dependency Intel
Use this before ad hoc repo-wide greps when the question is mainly about ESIR dependencies, compatibility surfaces, remote interfaces, planet integrations, or media companion packs.
Start with the wrapper:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\invoke-esir-dependency-intel.ps1 -Task query -Scope all -Category all
Checked-in truth is exactly two stable layers: declared_dependencies from pack info.json files and ESIR touchpoints extracted from runtime/data-stage integration files.
Local installed-mod inspection is query-time enrichment only. Never persist %APPDATA%\Factorio\mods, output\tesla-run-mods, or .factorio-qc presence into checked-in manifests.
Treat touchpoint categories as a navigation aid, not a substitute for reading the owning file when a change is about to land.
If you change dependency touchpoint logic or add a new compatibility surface, refresh the catalog and update the matching skill/reference wording in the same patch.
