Field notes
REA describes its engine as static analysis and labels relationships as observed, inferred, IPC, or a studio heuristic. The page offers demos across Electron, Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android, including a seven-file hand-written Electron sample with a known answer key. Real-app examples are not uniformly complete: GitHub Desktop is shown as a trimmed fixture, while the VS Code example covers selected main-process and preload files.
