Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I'd like to have a visualization of a configuration file. I want to see the complex nature of the dependencies. This would help me understand the nature of the possible order of operations to ensure I don't create a configuration file that can't succeed.
Future Considerations include things like being able to provide the transitive reduction, but those would be other issues in my mind.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how WinGet Configuration files are represented and how the application presents them, then define the visualization's scope and acceptance criteria; showing dependencies and possible operation order is in scope, while transitive reduction is explicitly future work.
