Inspect Emacs commands, variables, bindings, defaults, and buffer-local values.
Inspect live Emacs runtime state such as buffers, variables, hooks, keymaps, features, warnings, and backtraces.
Work with live Emacs buffers, regions, point, narrowing, and window-local editing state.
Reload Emacs configuration safely and diagnose stale package or variable state after configuration changes.
Use editor-backed language server workflows such as diagnostics, definitions, references, rename, and code actions.
Work with Magit buffers and live Git state inside Emacs.

When behavior depends on hooks, keymaps, remaps, or advice, inspect the effective runtime objects directly. Check hook values, command remappings, active minor modes, local/global maps, and advice lists.
Explain which binding or hook actually wins and why.
