Description

Description

We have a tree like output with debugprint, that could be made nicer with the rich library: https://github.com/Textualize/rich

Blogpost example of the tree functionality: https://www.willmcgugan.com/blog/tech/post/rich-tree/

We could also have an interactive version (not on jupyter notebooks unfortunately), with the related textualize library: https://www.textualize.io/

We could interactive expand/collapse nodes (show inner graphs from Composite / Scan) inline, compute test values, color code repeated nodes (right now you get a ... and and id for repeated expressions that are not always easy to find)

Research direction

Start at the existing debugprint entry point and review how Composite and Scan nodes are represented, then compare the tree and interaction capabilities described by the Rich and Textualize references. Define a focused scope for textual or interactive expansion, test-value display, and repeated-node coloring; done should mean the selected behavior is implemented and its output is validated.
