## Description

Asset Doctor

Experimental s&box editor diagnostics for quoted asset paths in the active project's physical \`Assets\` directory.

What it checks

- Missing project or editor-known package asset references
- Unsafe and non-portable path syntax
- Case mismatches
- Circular direct references among scanned current-project text assets
- Unreadable or oversized source text assets
- Direct native Asset Browser references/dependants through right-click actions

Important limitation

The scanner is heuristic: it reads quoted values in supported text formats. It is not a complete dependency graph, publish-manifest validator, or blocking quality gate. Review findings before acting on them.

Reports

Exports unique timestamped Markdown, text, and JSON reports. JSON includes \`detectionMode\` so CI consumers cannot mistake the output for exhaustive dependency coverage.

Find assets using this/used by this \[Dependencies\]

Introduces a new section in the right-click menu "Asset Doctor" where you can check all assets used by the selected asset and vice versa. Unlike s&box stock Reference feature, now you can click on any asset reference and go to said asset immediately in Asset Browser. Also dependencies is a separate window, so you can ckeck every dependency separately, without going back to the original file to get the References menu in the Inspector.
