- **What to Build**: Ingest `cartographer`'s dependency tree into `blackbox` to render a repository's files as glowing 3D nodes clustered by import connections.
- **First Experiment**: Render the `labs` repository dependencies in `blackbox`.

### 5. Tactical Nimbus Focus Mode
- **Projects Involved**: [`nimbus`](../projects/nimbus/) + [`gps`](../projects/gps/)
- **Reusable Components**: `nimbus` Web Audio noise generator + `gps` cyberpunk HUD design tokens.
- **What to Build**: A "Tactical Focus HUD" theme for Nimbus featuring coordinate grids, session radar circles, and pulse animations.
- **First Experiment**: Apply `gps` CSS variables and reticle animations to `nimbus/index.html`.
