Detect code coupling smells

Detect coupling violations (tight dependencies, circular imports) in code via static analysis

Refactoring efforts to identify high-coupling modules before decoupling them.

• · Dependency graph
• · Coupling threshold rules

• · List of coupling violations with source/target modules

• · AST parser
• · import analyzer
• · visualization tool (optional)

Codebase scanned for imports; coupling rules defined (max-depth, max-degree, no-cycles)

• · Dynamic imports missed → false negatives
• · Threshold too strict → every file flagged as coupling
• · Circular dependency not detected → runtime import errors later

• · Detects circular import cycles
• · Reports coupling degree (number of dependents)
