Tips
- Add
--type ClassName to disambiguate overloads across types.
- After you reach this step, continue with targeted file/member reads in the same area; do not bounce back to
expand-folder for that folder unless you intentionally reset direction with a new find-files query.
- For files <50 lines, use
ck read-full-file <file> directly.
- No index required — always reads live from disk.
