Package Uninstall Impact Analysis

[mikejmorgan-ai]

Description

Analyze impact before uninstalling packages (what breaks, what depends on it).

Requirements

• Dependency impact analysis
• Show dependent packages
• Predict breaking changes
• Service impact assessment
• Orphan package detection
• Safe uninstall recommendations

Acceptance Criteria

• Analyze package dependencies
• Show dependent packages
• Predict service impacts
• Detect orphaned packages
• Safe removal recommendations
• Cascading removal support
• Unit tests included (>80% coverage)
• Documentation with uninstall guide

Example Usage

$ cortex remove python --dry-run
⚠️  Impact Analysis:

Directly depends on python:
   - pip
   - virtualenv
   - django-app
   
Services affected:
   - web-server (uses django-app)
   - data-processor (uses python scripts)
   
Would break: 2 services, 15 packages
   
Recommendation: Remove specific packages instead:
   cortex remove django-app

Skills: Python, dependency analysis, impact assessment
Bounty: $25 upon merge
Priority: Medium
