✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the synopsis is literally this, no cap:

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this command analyzes your service, pods, DestinationRules, and VirtualServices — the whole squad — and reports the configuration objects that affect that service. it's giving main character energy for debugging service config, fr fr.

⚠️ THIS COMMAND IS UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE. not me saying that dramatically, it literally says it: do not treat this as production-ready, bestie.
