Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently, empty jewel sockets only show how much distance they have from the start of the tree, not showing other useful information that jewels could make use of.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to see at a glance the number of allocated and unallocated passives in the radius of a jewel socket.

It could show a table like:

S M L VL MS
Allocated Small X X X X X
Unallocated Small X X X X X
Allocated Notable X X X X X
Unallocated Notable X X X X X
Allocated Keystone X X X X X
Unallocated Keystone X X X X X
Allocated Total X X X X X
Unallocated Total X X X X X

or maybe a more sensible layout would be this (it really depends on how the line spacing and font size would work):

AS US AN UN AK UK AT UT
Small
Medium x x x x x x x x
Large x x x x x x x x
Very Large x x x x x x x x
Massive x x x x x x x x

(Perhaps for clarity, the abbreviations could be replaced with images of allocated/unallocated placeholder passives?)

This is unwieldy, so maybe it should only show relevant radius you have a jewel with that radius in your items list (even if not currently equipped), only showing the full table if you hold Alt or something while hovering over the socket?

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative would to add a simple line on any jewel with a radius that tells you how many passives would be affected in each jewel socket like...

Affected passives if Socket 1: 12
Affected passives if Socket 2: 11
Affected passives if Socket 3: 9

You can currently do similar by checking the "Stat changes if socketed in Socket X" when looking at a jewel, but depending on the jewel, and how many sockets you have, that list can get ridiculously long and difficult to parse, so having something easier to reference would be nice.

Research direction

Start by locating the hover display for empty jewel sockets, which currently shows distance from the tree start, and trace how passive nodes within a socket radius are identified. Compare the proposed radius and allocation counts with the existing jewel stat-change information; done means the hover presents a clear, usable summary without making the existing socket information difficult to read.
